Analisa Josefa Corr has been accused of assaulting another passenger while drunk.
The daughter of former Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos has been banned from drinking alcohol on planes and airports after she and her husband got into an argument with another passenger on a Jetstar flight.
Analisa Josefa Corr and James Alexander Corr caused a "disturbance" for their "disorderly conduct" while drunk on a flight from Hobart to Sydney on December 29, Australian police said.
Ms Corr was accused of "grabbing and shaking another passenger as he was leaving the plane's toilet," police said. The couple were escorted off the plane.
They pleaded not guilty to charges of failing to follow safety instructions and consuming alcohol not provided by the crew, but agreed Friday to a drinking ban while on bail. If convicted, they could be fined up to A$13,750 ($8,520; £6,925) on each charge.
Ms Corr also denied the charge of assaulting another passenger on board the plane, which carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison.
They were also ordered to pay A$20,000, which will be forfeited if they fail to meet their bail conditions.
Ms Corr, 53, is Marcos' daughter, raised in Australia with former Sydney model Evelin Hegyesi, making her the sister of the current Philippine 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 reports. In a statement on the incident, police urged travellers to "be mindful of your behaviour at airports".
"You don't want to start the New Year with a big fine or worse, behind bars," said Sergeant Luke Stockwell of the Australian Federal Police.
"The AFP increases patrols at all major airports over the festive period and will not tolerate dangerous, disruptive or abusive behaviour from travellers," he added.
Jetstar has not commented directly on the incident, but a spokesperson said the airline "will never tolerate disruptive behaviour on our aircraft".
"The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is our number one priority," he added.
