A Seoul court has sentenced a former Korean Air executive to a year in prison after finding her guilty of violating aviation law.
The court said Cho Hyun-ah, also known as Heather Cho, was guilty of forcing a flight to change its route, the most serious of the charges she faced.
Cho, the daughter of Korean Air’s chairman, achieved worldwide notoriety after she ordered the chief flight attendant off a 5 December flight, forcing it to return to the gate at John F Kennedy airport in New York.
