A man and woman, both Brazilian nationals, are due to face court after being nabbed at Sydney International airport allegedly with 6kg of cocaine.

A Brazilian pair has allegedly been nabbed at Sydney Airport with about 6kg of cocaine in the lining of their suitcases.

A 30-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman arrived at Sydney International Airport on a flight from Chile on Thursday and were charged after Australian Border Force (ABF) officers allegedly found the drug.

The pair will face Sydney Central Local Court on Friday charged with importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, AFP said.
