1-year prison term given to ex-Korean Air VP over 'nut rage'
SEOUL (Kyodo) -- A former Korean Air vice president was sentenced to one year in prison Thursday for obstructing aviation safety last December by ordering a plane to return to the gate because she was angered over being served macadamia nuts in an unopened pack instead of in a bowl.

"It is questionable whether Cho truly feels remorseful," Judge Oh Seong Woo said in the ruling, according to Yonhap News Agency. "The so-called 'nut rage' case trampled on the integrity of humanity."

Prosecutors had sought a three-year prison term for Cho Hyun Ah, 40, a daughter of the airline's chairman, over the incident at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Dec. 5, which caused widespread public anger in South Korea and attracted global attention.

Cho was said by witnesses to have thrown a tantrum on the plane, harshly scolding the cabin crew and ordering the pilot of the Seoul-bound flight to return the plane to the departure gate, which it had already left, to offload the chief steward over the incident.

In a court hearing on Feb. 2, Cho, who has been in custody since Dec. 30, apologized for her conduct and insisted she was unaware the aircraft had already left the gate. She resigned as Korean Air vice president for cabin service four days after the incident.

A key issue was whether the court would accept prosecutors' argument that she violated the law, which bans passengers from pressuring crew members to deviate from the flight route.

Cho also faced charges of physically and verbally assaulting the female flight attendant as well as the cabin crew chief.

Meanwhile, the court sentenced Korean Air executive Yeo Woon Jin to eight months in prison for pressuring cabin crew to cover up the incident and lie to investigators from South Korea's transport ministry about the case. Prosecutors had sought a two-year jail term for Yeo.

The court also sentenced Kim Woon Sub, a transport ministry official, to six months in prison with a stay of execution for one year for leaking the ministry's investigation to the airline.
