It happens to every airline/flight entering Australia. Some airlines like QF/NZ do residual spraying if their aircraft operate here frequently as it has to be done regularly. UA does residual spraying of their 744s - it used to be done on the ground in SYD.
Other airlines (like CX from HKG as example) spray the aircraft before boarding and present the used spray cans to Quarantine on arrival.
Airlines based in Nth America still spraying on arrival include HA and AC because the spray cannot be used in Nth America. I heard that DL was going to residual spray in Asia during long ground times but that plan may have changed.
Bottom line = ALL aircraft to Aust are still sprayed.
