Hong Kong: Shares in Hong Kong's flagship carrier Cathay Pacific plunged more than four per cent on Monday, after Beijing banned airline staff supporting Hong Kong protesters from flights going through the mainland.

Cathay shares lost 4.37 per cent to HK$9.85 by the break in Hong Kong, with the carrier's parent company Swire Pacific Ltd. plunging 5.26 per cent to HK$77.50.
