All other passengers have been deemed casual contacts and have to isolate until they receive a negative result.
It comes after a Virgin flight from Newcastle to Brisbane on the same day was initially deemed a close contact exposure for all passengers, before being scaled back to just include passengers near the COVID-positive passenger.
Newcastle Airport said there have not been any changes to the flight schedule as a result of the exposures.
