An alert was sounded after a leak from the Air France aircraft was reported, followed by immediate evacuation of the area.
Seven fire tenders were rushed to the spot and the area has been cordoned off.
Teams from the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) were also at the site.
