Seoul - A South Korean appeals court on Friday freed the former Korean Air executive who was jailed for a year in February for disrupting a flight in a rage over macadamia nuts.

The High Court in Seoul ruled that the behaviour of Cho Hyun-Ah, the eldest daughter of Korean Air's chairman, had not resulted in a change of flight path -- the most serious charge against her -- and handed down a reduced suspended sentence.
