Korean Air flight attendant in 'nut rage' case sues chairman's daughter

Seoul

A FLIGHT attendant at the centre of a "nut rage" case that resulted in the daughter of the Korean Air Lines chairman being sentenced to jail has filed a civil lawsuit against her in New York, the attendant's lawyers have said.

Heather Cho, the airline's former head of in-flight service and daughter of chairman Cho Yang-ho, was sentenced to a year in jail last month after she was found guilty of violating aviation law over an on-board incident at New York's John F Kennedy airport on Dec 5.
