- (12 Dec 2014) The Korean Air Lines company executive who delayed a flight in an incident now known as "nut rage" bowed deep in apology on Friday before facing questioning by transport officials.
Her father, the airline's chairman, also apologised and said he regretted that he did not raise her properly.
Cho Hyun-ah, 40, Korean Air Lines' chairman Cho Yang-ho's eldest child and former vice president at the airline, also said she will apologise personally to the senior flight attendant who was forced out of the flight on December the 5th over an improper serving of nuts in a bag.
Clad in a long black coat, she lowered her face as she made brief comments before droves of journalists without making eye contact.
Her apology came in response to simmering public anger over her attitude and the airline's handling of the incident.
Some said the apology came too late.
Cho could face legal action if the transport ministry's probe shows that she violated aviation safety law.
Cho, who was head of cabin service at Korean Air, was angered when a flight attendant in first class offered her macadamia nuts in a bag, not on a plate.
She ordered a senior crew member off the plane, forcing it to return to the gate at John F. Kennedy airport in New York City.
Her actions caused uproar in South Korea and abroad.
South Korean media called the 40-year-old a 'princess' and some Koreans said she was an international embarrassment to her country.
In a separate probe, prosecutors searched the headquarters of Korean Air Lines on Thursday after a civil society group laid a complaint about Cho's behaviour on the plane.
Korean Air Lines had earlier excused her behaviour even as it apologised for inconveniencing passengers.
The flight bound for South Korea was delayed by 20 minutes due to the incident.
Earlier this week, Cho resigned as Korean Air's head of cabin service but retained other executive roles at the airline and its affiliated companies.
Her father said on Friday that Cho is resigning from executive roles at all affiliates of Hanjin, the group that controls Korean Air.

you can tell she didnt mean a word in her apology. she spoke so quietly and didnt own up to her actions. you know her nut rages are going to continue
Feed her nothing but nuts in jail.....just because you are rich that gives you the right to treat people so badly ..haven't you heard of karma ? Shame on you and you family ( because they haven't taught you kindness and respect ) .
Dishonor on you dishonor on your cow
If she's rich at least she can take a shower
disgraceful from any management member to behave like this. he was serving the damn nuts ON HIS KNEES btw!
This is no apology he needs to put his daughters in jail
No one is above the law - except the rich and powerful.
you're not sorry for the incident your story because you got caught
BUT SHE WAS SO PROUD WHEN....SHE THREW HER FIT!!!!
Whoever reported her , life isnt going easy on him..
that's not true. i did this in a case study for a management course. this is part of the korean traditions. anywhere else in the world, they would not have payed much attention to it but there EVERYONE recognised this a inappropriate. The workers that had been yelled at etc returned to their stations a little over a year later.
What? Speak up
Shame, shame, shame...
Someone should have started screaming that, Cersei Lannister walk of shame style.
The way they word "nut rage" is kinda hilarious
Can we just all have a sense of humor in this country?
Well, you should of served her the nuts on a plate then.
People's power are very powerful than your money
Someone should have scream! SPEAK LOUDER! Would you go without Nut from now on?

A RICH TYPICAL ASIAN WITH A LOT OF MONEY, no one’s gonna respect you the way you treat those’d employees of yours…lol

She looks like the a short haired version of Palm from HxH before she fixed her hair for Gon. And just as crazy
i like the way of official or even citizen from korea and japan how they apologize from their mistakes. a simple bow of their heads is a down to earth meaning of regrets
