A plane’s brakes burst into flames just moments after landing at Brisbane Airport with 180 passengers on board.
The plane’s brakes caught alight just after the Virgin Australia 454 flight from Darwin touched down about 7pm on Thursday.
Multiple fire crews fought to extinguish the fire.
‘The fire was quickly extinguished, and all guests and crew disembarked normally and safely,’ Virgin Australia said in a statement.
‘We thank our crew and airport firefighters for their swift response. The safety of our guests and crew is always our highest priority.’
None of the 178 people on the flight were injured.
The aircraft has been taken out of rotation while engineers survey it in order to investigate what happened.
Brisbane Airport confirmed to the Daily Mail there were no delays, cancellations or impacts as a result of the fire.
Virgin Australia added that the airline does not anticipate impacts on the schedule on Friday.
