The daughter of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos faces alcohol restrictions after a mid-flight altercation; safety concerns stressed by authorities.
Authorities described an episode where Ms. Corr, 53, reportedly "grabbed and shook another passenger while exiting the aircraft toilet." The couple was escorted off the plane after police intervened. They have pleaded not guilty to charges of violating safety instructions and consuming alcohol not served by the crew. Despite these pleas, they have agreed to a temporary prohibition on alcohol consumption while out on bail.
If convicted of the charges, which include an assault allegation carrying a potential two-year prison sentence, they could face fines totaling A$13,750 ($8,520; £6,925) for each violation. In addition, a bail condition has been imposed requiring them to post A$20,000 which could be forfeited upon any breach.
Ms. Corr, a self-identified interior designer and the half-sister of the current Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., is facing a significant spotlight as a member of a prominent political family. Meanwhile, James Corr, 45, is recognized as a former soldier in Australian media.
The Australian Federal Police have released a statement urging passengers to behave responsibly while traveling, emphasizing that disruptive behavior could lead to serious consequences. “You don't want to start the new year with a significant fine or worse, behind bars,” cautioned Sergeant Luke Stockwell.
Jetstar Airlines, while not directly commenting on this particular incident, reaffirmed its commitment to passenger safety and well-being, stating that disruptive behavior will not be tolerated on their flights. The airline also mentioned an increase in patrols at major airports during the holiday season to uphold safety standards.
