Nut rage ex-airline boss walks free

A former Korean Air executive whose on-board “nut rage” tantrum delayed a flight has been freed from prison after a South Korean court suspended her jail term.

Cho Hyun-ah, the daughter of the airline’s chairman, did not break aviation security law when she ordered the chief flight attendant off a December 5 flight, forcing it to return to the gate at John F Kennedy Airport in New York, Seoul High Court ruled.
