QANTAS says all of its services are operating as normal despite the swine flu outbreak.
"We haven't encountered any episodes of (swine flu), but there are no specific changes to travel arrangements or Qantas services," a spokesman said today.
"Qantas has standard procedures in place and regularly reviews them to manage these sorts of risks.
"We will be working closely with Australian and international authorities to monitor the situation."
Virgin Blue was awaiting government advice before implementing swine flu prevention measures.
"Like all airlines, Virgin Blue will take advice from the Australian Federal Government regarding any recommendations and comply with all specific requirements," a spokeswoman said.
