Why Korean Air stopped serving peanuts

It is safe to say that Korean Air has struggled to manage modest issues over the years.

First, there was the famous "nut-rage" incident in 2014, when the daughter of the airline's general manager raged on how her nuts were served to her in first clbad, delaying her l & # 39; air. Cho Hyun Ah was later sentenced to prison for obstructing air safety.

The airline once again hit the headlines after the removal of two brothers from a plane because of their peanut allergy.

They traveled from the United States to the Philippines via South Korea, but were stranded in Seoul because Korean Air did not stop serving peanuts to nearby pbadengers around the teenage years.

They had booked their flight via Delta and there was no problem on the flight from the United States because the airline did not serve the nuts. But they were told that they would not be arranged about their allergies on the Korean Air flight so as not to "deprive other guests of peanuts".

They were repatriated to Atlanta later in the day.

Reuters says that the airline will now remove food containing peanuts from meals in flight and stop serving the treat.

"The decision to stop peanut-based products and their ingredients is the minimum safety measure for peanut-allergic pbadengers," the airline said.
