Emergency services have put out a brake fire which was sparked moments after a plane landed at Brisbane Airport.

Vision posted to social media showed firefighters working to put out the fire on the Boeing 737, which travelled from Darwin and landed just before 7pm on Thursday.

Four aviation fire rescue trucks worked to put out the fire, before the 180 passengers and crew on board Virgin Australia flight VA454 disembarked as normal.

No-one was injured as a result of the fire.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Virgin Australia thanked the crew and airport firefighters for their "swift response".

"The safety of our guests and crew is always our highest priority," the statement read.

It is understood the plane will be inspected by Virgin Australia's engineering team before it returns to service.

No delays occurred as a result of the fire, and no services are expected to be impacted on Friday.
