The major fire has erupted near Heathrow, producing so much smoke that the airport has been forced to alter its normal operations and use a different runway than expected.
Fifteen fire engines and approximately 100 firefighters are battling a blaze in a field in Feltham, with residents advised to keep windows and doors closed.
Heathrow Airport has reverted to landing on the northern runway (27R) and taking off from the southern runway due to smoke from an off-airport fire (27L).
Heathrow Airport, on the other hand, stated that there have been no delays or cancellations and that flights are continuing as scheduled.
