SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean court has approved the arrest of a former Korean Air Lines Co. executive who delayed a flight in what has widely been called “nut rage.”
Seoul Western District Court said it granted a warrant Tuesday to arrest Cho Hyun-ah, 40, citing concerns that she might destroy evidence or flee.
She resigned as vice president of Korean Air amid public anger that she forced a plane to return to its gate in New York on Dec. 5 to remove the chief flight attendant because she was angry that macadamia nuts were served in a bag, not on a plate. Witnesses said she assaulted and insulted cabin crew members.
The arrest comes as Korean Air faces government sanctions for allegedly trying to cover up the incident.

‘get those nuts out of the sack and serve them up to me on a plate’, sounds like something my ex-wife used to say.
There fixed it…Cho Kardashian-ah
Wow.
Destroying evidence? HUH??
Just had this “Mommie Dearest” image of this exec screaming: NO! MACADAMIA! BAGS! EVER!!
