Due to the global outbreak of the Swine Flu, many airlines have been dealt another blow by finding out that many companies are imposing travel bans on all of their employees. This, of course, has all been brought on by the intensifying panic over the swine flu.

Such big name companies as Nokia, Samsung, Adidas, and Honda are now suspending all overseas travel until the swine flu is under control. This hurts the airlines even more that are already suffering from the global recession.

However, some airlines, like British Airways, say that it’s way too early to tell if the swine flu is going to harm the industry. Others like Giovanni Bisignani, who is the director general of the International Air Transport Association, is certain that the swine flu will have a very direct impact on the aviation industry. He also went on to add that this could not have come at a worse time for the industry.

The World Health Organization, also called WHO, warned that the swine flu can no longer be contained. They say that travel has already spread the swine flu all over the globe, and places like Britain could be looking at one in every four people to become infected with the flu.

Other places around the world, like China, have now ban pig products from being imported from Mexico, as well as parts of the United States, where the virus has been confirmed. This comes as a big shock to some people since China is the world’s biggest pork consumer. China says that they will do what they can to keep the virus away.
