Korean Air’s unruly siblings are stepping down from their positions as executives with the airline.
Heather Cho and younger sister Cho Hyun-min are relinquishing their posts with immediate effect, said their father, Korean Air Lines Co Ltd Chairman Cho Yang Ho.
Cho senior said he hoped the company would ‘turn over a new leaf’ with new management.
Cho Hyun-min, a senior vice-president, is currently under investigation for allegedly throwing water at an executive of Korean Air’s ad agency.
Heather Cho also gained notoriety for the ‘nut rage’ incident, forcing a flight back to the gate at New York because she was irked at how a packet of nuts was served to her.
She was accused of humiliating cabin crew, forcing them to beg for forgiveness.
She was briefly jailed for the incident.
"As chairman of Korean Air as well as a father, I am terribly sorry for my daughter’s misstep. Everything is my responsibility and fault," he said in a statement.
