All the 141 people on board the Peruvian Airlines flight which originated in Lima were evacuated safely before the fire spread to the fuselage. No serious injuries were reported, Reuters cited a government minister as saying.

The right wing of the Boeing 737-300 scraped the runway, which might have triggered the fire, Peruvian Interior Minister Carlos Basombrio said. The incident occurred as the plane made a scheduled landing at Francisco Carle Airport, a high-altitude airport, which is located about 165 miles (265km) east of Peruvian capital Lima.

Authorities are investigating to ascertain the exact cause of the fire.

"The plane couldn't stop on the runway and they made a manoeuvre to stop it with the wing and that appears to have caused the fire," Basombrio said.

Photos and videos from the scene showed the aircraft engulfed in flames and several firefighters trying to douse the flames as thick black smoke billowed towards the sky.

A spokesman for Peruvian Airlines, Alberto Lopez, said it was not a crash.

"The plane did not crash, it landed and then the fire was produced once the plane was on the ground but the exact cause of fire will be explained once the investigation has been completed," ABC News cited Lopez as saying.

Boeing said it knew about its jet catching fire. The company tweeted: "We are aware of the incident involving Peruvian Airlines Flight 2036. Our team is currently gathering more information."</s>Shocking footage has emerged showing the aftermath of a plane crash in Peru.
