(CNN) -- Three more Asia-Pacific based airlines have announced plans to ban shark's fin cargo from their flights. Fiji's national carrier and South Korea's Asiana and Korean Air are the latest to promise to halt shipments of shark fin and shark-related products from unsustainable and unverified sources. Acting CEO of Air Pacific -- soon to rebrand as Fiji Airways -- says the move is the result of a month-long review of its freight policies relating to shark products. "We believe a ban on the shipment of unsustainably sourced shark fins is the right thing to do, and have implemented this policy effective immediately," Aubrey Swift said in a statement released Monday.
