The ‘nut rage’ Korean Air executive has been freed from prison after an appeals court suspended her jail sentence.
The court found that Cho Hyun-ah, the daughter of the airline’s chairman, had not violated aviation security rules despite her tantrum over how nuts were served on board a flight.
However, the Seoul High Court found Cho guilty of using violence against flight attendants, and sentenced her to 10 months in prison, suspended for two years.
A lower court had previously sentenced her to a year in jail.
A Korean Air plane was leaving JFK Airport for Seoul on December 5 when witnesses say Ms Cho became angry over macadamia nuts being served in a bag and not a bowl.
She ordered the plane to return to the gate and offload the chief steward.
