dufus Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Korean Air Lines said yesterday it has stopped serving peanuts as snacks to customers in response to a recent incident when two teenage brothers were unable to board a flight because of a peanut allergy. The brothers’ parents said in media reports earlier last month that their sons were removed from a flight because the South Korean airline was unwilling to accommodate a serious peanut allergy. The brothers were traveling from Atlanta to the Philippines but were stranded in Seoul after Korean Air did not agree to a request to stop serving peanuts around the teens because the older brother has a severe peanut allergy. Korean Air has had an assorted history with nuts in recent years, with its image tarnished by the infamous “nut rage” scandal of 2014. Chief Executive Cho Yang-ho’s eldest daughter, Heather Cho, made headlines when she lost her temper over the way she was served nuts in first class and ordered the Korean Air plane to return to its gate at a New York airport. The carrier’s shareholders removed Cho Yang-ho from its board in a landmark vote on Wednesday. He became the first founding family member of any South Korean corporate giant to be forced off a board. Korean Air will remove food that contains peanuts from in-flight meals in several weeks, the company said. sauce " need of the few out way need of many " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
