The pilot told passengers there was a technical issue and the aircraft would have to land earlier than usual.
The aircraft landed on the longest runway at Brisbane Airport at 8.02pm with no issues.
Multiple emergency vehicles were on standby at the airport, following the aircraft into the airport.
A passenger said the pilot handled the situation “extremely well” and you wouldn’t have known the brakes had failed as it was a smooth landing.
