Ms Corr has been accused of "grabbing and shaking another passenger while exiting the aircraft toilet", police said. The pair were escorted off the flight.They pleaded not guilty to charges of not complying with safety instructions and consuming alcohol not provided by the crew, but on Friday agreed to a booze ban while on bail.
If found guilty, they could be fined up to A$13,750 ($8,520; £6,925) for each charge.Ms Corr has also denied a charge of assaulting a fellow passenger on board the aircraft, which carries up to two years in prison.They have each also been asked to offer up A$20,000, which would be forfeited they breach any bail conditions.Ms Corr, 53, is Marcos' Australia-raised daughter with former Sydney model Evelin Hegyesi - which makes 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, police urged travellers to be "mindful of their behaviour at airports"."You don't want to start the new year with a significant fine or worse, behind bars," said Australian Federal Police Sergeant Luke Stockwell."The AFP is increasing patrols at all major airports during the holidays and will not tolerate dangerous, disruptive or abusive behaviour from travellers," he added.Jetstar did not directly comment on the incident, but a spokesman said the company will "never tolerate disruptive behaviour on our aircraft".
