Korean Air's now former vice president -- Cho Hyun-ah -- appeared before aviation safety inspectors for questioning Friday afternoon.
Speaking to reporters, she apologized for her actions and said she would cooperate with the investigation.
(Korean)
"I am sorry, and I will sincerely cooperate with the probe. I will also apologize in person to the chief purser and cabin crew involved."
Cho initially refused to show, but changed her mind after prosecutors raided the headquarters of the nation's flagship carrier over concerns of evidence tampering.
Her appearance comes after her father, the CEO of Korean Air Cho Yang-ho apologized on her behalf at a press conference and vowed that such an incident would not happen again.
"As a father and the head of Korean Air, I ask for forgiveness."
Cho was thrust into the international spotlight a week ago after making a Korean Air flight from New York to Seoul turn back to the gate after a flight attendant served her nuts in the package, instead of on a plate -- apparently not following protocol.
The government is currently investigating whether her actions broke air traffic safety laws or other regulations.
She has also been barred from leaving the country.
Cho first stepped down from her duties related to flight services over the backlash, but later offered her full resignation.
She will also quit all her positions at affiliates of Korean Air.
