A video of the incident showed firefighters hosing down the plane as passengers watched from a waiting room.
All passengers and crew got off the Airbus A320-232 without injury, police said on Twitter.
The Danish Police tweeted: “A fire erupted in an engine of a passenger jet that was stopped at the gate. Fire is out. Passengers evacuated. No one injured”.
sooo, it looks like our flight from Copenhagen to London on @British_Airways might be a bit delayed… @flightradar24 pic.twitter.com/kr6dffV5uz

Meanwhile, British Airways has downplayed the incident, according to MailOnline.
The airline said smoke was spotted coming from the plane due to ‘hot brakes’ at around 8 pm as the plane was at the gate.
“All customers and crew disembarked the BA820 safely. We would never operate an aircraft unless it was safe to do so,” a statement by British Airways reads.
