On December 29, Analisa Josefa Corr, daughter of the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, was involved in a drunken disturbance on a Jetstar flight that has led to a ban on consuming alcohol at airports and onboard planes. The incident, described by Australian police as disorderly behavior, reportedly escalated when Ms. Corr was accused of physically assaulting another passenger. As a result, both she and her husband, James Alexander Corr, were escorted off the flight.

A Marcos family member faces restrictions on alcohol consumption after an alleged in-flight brawl on a Jetstar trip from Hobart to Sydney.
They have contested charges of disobeying safety regulations and consuming alcohol not provided by the airline, but agreed to a ban on alcohol while out on bail. If they are found guilty, they might face fines reaching A$13,750 (approximately $8,520; £6,925) for each offense. Additional legal issues could arise, with accusations against Ms. Corr of assault potentially leading to a two-year prison term. Currently, she claims to be an interior designer and is known as the half-sister of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. The Australian Federal Police have warned travelers to consider their conduct, and Jetstar has affirmed a zero-tolerance policy for disruptive behavior onboard.
