The daughter of late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos has been banned from drinking on planes and airports after she and her husband got into a drunken row with another passenger on a Jetstar flight.
Analisa Josefa Corr and James Alexander Corr caused a “disturbance” with their “disorderly behaviour” while drunk on a flight from Hobart to Sydney on December 29, Australian police said.
Ms. Corr is accused of “grabbing and shaking another passenger as she exited the plane’s lavatory,” police said. The couple was escorted off the flight.
They pleaded not guilty to charges of failing to follow safety instructions and consuming alcohol not provided by the crew, but on Friday agreed to a drinking ban while on the loose.
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 a fellow passenger on the plane, which carries a sentence of up to two years in prison.
Each was also asked to post A$20,000, which would be forfeited if they breach bail conditions.
Ms Corr, 53, is the Australian-raised daughter of Marcos with former Sydney model Evelin Hegyesi – making her the half-sister of the Philippines’ current 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, the police called on passengers to “watch 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 dangerous, disruptive or abusive behavior by passengers,” he added.
Jetstar did not directly comment on the incident, but a spokesman said the company “will never tolerate disruptive behavior on our aircraft”.
“The safety and well-being of customers and crew is our number one priority,” he added.
