Qantas has quarantined about 20 flight attendants who came into direct contact with swine flu victims, the airline has confirmed.
A spokeswoman said this morning that the cabin crew were in quarantine after working on a series of flights with passengers who had tested positive to the potentially deadly H1N1 virus.
She said health authorities had made the request as a "precautionary measure", but there were no confirmed cases of the flu among staff.
Qantas is expected to release more details soon.
