A Qantas flight was forced to make an emergency landing after losing the use of its brakes.
Flight QF1908 from Canberra to Brisbane was due to depart at 5.25pm on Friday but was delayed.
Shortly after takeoff, a warning light came on indicating there was a problem with the plane’s brakes, the Courier Mail reports.
The pilot told passengers that there was a technical problem and that the plane would have to land earlier than usual.
The plane landed on the longer runway at Brisbane Airport at 8:02 p.m. without incident.
Several emergency vehicles were on standby at the airport, following the plane to the airport.
One passenger said the pilot handled the situation “extremely well” and would not have noticed the brakes had failed as it was a smooth landing.
