SEOUL (Reuters) - Korean Air (KS:003490) CEO Cho Won-tae's mother and younger sister said on Tuesday they support the flag carrier's current leadership headed by Cho.
The expression of support, which was made in a statement, comes amid a family feud between Cho and another sister ahead of a shareholders' meeting in March.
Cho's older sister, Heather Cho, a former Korean Air executive whose "nut rage" incident in 2014 made global headlines, and two other shareholders in Korean Air parent company Hanjin KAL (KS:180640) announced last month they will cooperate to introduce professional managers and put forth proposals at the upcoming shareholders' meeting.
