The Daegu District Court issued the warrant for him on charges of violating the Aviation Security Act, saying there was a risk he may try to flee before trial.

The man, in his thirties, was detained on landing on Friday after opening the door when the A321-200 plane was about 700 feet above the ground, causing panic onboard.

The warrant allows police to keep him in custody longer.Officials gave the man's surname as Lee but not his full name, as is usual custom."I feel really sorry for the kids," he told reporters as he was escorted to the Daegu court for a hearing on Sunday, apparently referring to students who were on board and taken to hospital with breathing issues.Asiana stopped sales of the seats closest to the exit on the A321-200 airbus model starting on Sunday, Yonhap said.
