Marcos Family Member Faces Alcohol Ban Following Airport Incident

The daughter of the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, Analisa Josefa Corr, faces legal ramifications and a ban on alcohol consumption while flying after a drunken brawl on a Jetstar flight. The couple's incident at Hobart Airport has raised concerns about passenger behavior, prompting authorities to increase scrutiny.

In a recent high-profile incident, Analisa Josefa Corr, the daughter of the late Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos, has been hit with a ban on consuming alcohol while flying following a drunken brawl on a Jetstar flight. The altercation unfolded on December 29 during a flight from Hobart to Sydney, where Ms. Corr, along with her husband James Alexander Corr, allegedly exhibited "disorderly behaviour" that led to their removal from the aircraft.

According to Australian police, Ms. Corr has been accused of physically assaulting another passenger by "grabbing and shaking" them while exiting the aircraft's toilet. The couple was subsequently escorted off the plane and is facing several charges, which they have pleaded not guilty to, including failing to adhere to safety instructions and consuming unauthorized alcohol aboard the flight.

While they await their court date, Ms. Corr and her husband have agreed to a temporary booze ban as part of their bail conditions. If found guilty, they could face fines totaling A$13,750 ($8,520; £6,925) per charge, and Ms. Corr specifically could spend up to two years in prison for the assault charge.

Ms. Corr, 53, is known to be the Australia-raised daughter of Ferdinand Marcos and former Sydney model Evelin Hegyesi and is the half-sister of the Philippines' current president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. She touts her profession as an interior designer on social media, while Mr. Corr, 45, is reportedly a former soldier.

In light of this incident, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) has urged travelers to be responsible in their conduct at airports, highlighting the risk of incurring significant fines or imprisonment for such behavior. The AFP also announced increased patrols at major airports during the holiday season to combat disruptive and dangerous actions by passengers. While Jetstar has not publicly commented on this specific case, a spokesperson emphasized the airline's commitment to passenger safety and a zero-tolerance stance towards disruptive behavior on its flights.
