Korean Air Lines Exec Resigns Over Nut Dispute
SEOUL,
South Korea - Dec 9, 2014, 5:41 AM ET
A top executive of Korean Air Lines
resigned Tuesday amid mounting public criticism that she delayed a plane over
how she was served macadamia nuts.
Company officials said that Chairman Cho Yang-ho has accepted
the resignation of Cho Hyun-ah, his eldest daughter and an
executive vice president.
The junior Cho was under public fire following
media revelations that a recent Korean Air Lines flight from New York to South
Korea returned to the gate because she ordered a senior crew member off the
plane. Cho was angered that she was served bagged macadamia nuts instead of nuts
on a plate.
The airline had apologized for inconveniencing passengers.
But it also said it was "natural" for Cho to fault crew's ignorance of
procedures.
