The daughter of the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos has been banned from drinking on planes and in airports after she and her husband got into a fight with another drunken passenger aboard a Jetstar flight.
Analisa Josefa Corr and James Alexander Corr caused a “disturbance” with their “disorderly behavior” while drunk on a flight from Hobart to Sydney on December 29, Australian police said.
Ms. Corr was accused of “grabbing and shaking another passenger as she exited the plane’s bathroom,” police said. Both men were escorted off the flight.
They pleaded not guilty to charges of failing to comply with safety regulations and consuming alcohol not provided by the crew, but agreed on Friday to a ban on alcohol consumption while out on bail.
If found guilty, they could be fined up to A$13,750 ($8,520; £6,925) for each charge.
Ms Corr also denied charges of assaulting another passenger on the plane, which carries a penalty of two years in prison.
They were also each asked to offer A$20,000, which would be forfeited if bail conditions were breached.
Ms Corr, 53, is Marcos’s Australian-raised daughter with former Sydney model Evelin Hegyesi – making her the half-sister of current Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
On Instagram, Ms. Corr describes herself as an interior designer.
Mr Corr, 45, is a former soldier, according to Australian media.
In its statement on the case, police urged travelers to be “mindful of their behavior at airports.”
“You don’t want to start the new year with a significant fine or worse, behind bars,” Australian Federal Police Sergeant Luke Stockwell said.
“The AFP is increasing patrols at all major airports during the holidays and will not tolerate any dangerous, disruptive or abusive behavior from travelers,” he added.
Jetstar has not commented directly on the incident, but a spokesperson said the company “will never tolerate disruptive behavior on board our aircraft.”
“The safety and well-being of customers and crew is our number one priority,” he added.
