A former executive of South Korea's national
airline has been jailed for one year for obstructing aviation safety
during a row over nuts.
Heather Cho forced a plane to return to the gate in New York
last December and offload a steward because she did not like the way she
had been served nuts.Judge Oh Sung-woo said it was a case where "human dignity" had been "trampled upon".
Ms Cho has apologised and quit Korean Air, which is run by her father.
Her plane was taxiing at New York's JFK Airport on 5 December when witnesses say she became angry after being served macadamia nuts she did not ask for, and which were still in a bag and not in a bowl.,does she deserve a year in prison?
