European stocks slumped the most in five months as U.S. employers hired fewer workers than forecast and airline shares fell as a bird flu spread in China.
Air France-KLM Group and International Consolidated Airlines Group SA tumbled more than 6 percent amid speculation the rising death toll from a new strain of bird flu in China will hurt demand for travel. Daimler AG and Xstrata Plc paced a selloff in carmakers and materials companies. National Bank of Greece SA and Eurobank Ergasias SA sank more than 11 percent.
