Asia Pacific airline investors brace for stormy conditions

Asia Pacific airline shares could be in for a rough ride today after scary falls on Wall Street overnight. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 348 points or 3.2% overnight to 10,520, having plunged as much as 998.5 points or 9.2% (the biggest intra-day fall in history), due to weak corporate profits, concerns over Greece’s debt problems and accelerated by “a number of erroneous trades" during the plunge, according to a NYSE spokesperson.
