Prosecutors in the nutty case of the former Korean Air exec who had a meltdown over macadamias have applied for an arrest warrant.
Cho Hyun-ah, 40, the daughter of the airline's chief executive, faces charges including violation of the aviation safety law, coercion and interference in the execution of duty, the prosecutors say, according to a report by abc.net.au.
"Our office has sent a request for the court to issue an arrest warrant," the prosecutor's office said.
Cho's outburst over macadamia nuts being served in an unopened bag instead of on a plate also sparked a government probe into the airline.
South Korea has laws that ban disturbances on flights, including the kind of verbal assault Cho leveled against the crew.
She allegedly screamed at a flight attendant and booted the chief cabin attendant, Park Chang-jin, off a Dec. 5 New York-to-Seoul flight and forced the taxiing plane to return to the gate.

An arrest warrant also is being sought for an unidentified company official on charges of destroying evidence from the incident.
Cho — who resigned in shame from her position after apologizing — claims she did not assault Park, but witnesses say she pushed him, according to prosecutors.
Park said Cho pushed him into the cockpit door and poked him with a service manual.
Prosecutors are also investigating whether airline officials forced the attendants to give false testimony.
Meanwhile, investigators have raided the office of a transportation ministry official who may have leaked details of the probe.
The South Korean government has vowed to impose a flight ban of up to a month on the airline — most likely on the New York-Seoul route — or fines of up to $2 million.
