A couple’s allegedly drunken mid-flight antics have landed them in court after they consumed alcohol brought onto the plane and a passenger was assaulted outside the aircraft’s toilet.

Analisa Josefa Corr, 53, and James Alexander Corr, 45, were on a Jetstar flight from Hobart to Sydney on December 28 when staff contacted the Australian Federal Police about their alleged disorderly behaviour.

The pair were intoxicated and consuming alcohol they brought onto the plane, according to the AFP.

Ms Corr also allegedly assaulted a passenger by grabbing and shaking them while exiting one of the aircraft’s toilets.

She has been hit with one count of common assault over the alleged incident.

They were escorted off the plane at Sydney’s domestic airport and arrested before being taken to Mascot police station where they were charged.

The couple are also each facing two offences of failing to comply with cabin crew safety directions and consuming alcohol not provided by flight assistants.

Each of these charges carries of maximum penalty of a $13,750 fine while common assault comes with a maximum jail term of two years.

Mr and Ms Corr both appeared at Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court today where they pleaded not guilty to all charges.

They will come before the same court on Friday to review their bail conditions.

AFP Sergeant Luke Stockwell said the federal police had responded to more than 400 incidents involving intoxicated individuals at major airports across Australia in 2024.

“Bad behaviour at airports is not only disrespectful to other travellers, airport workers and airline staff, but it’s a safety risk and usually leads to more serious offences,” he said.

“The AFP is increasing patrols at all major airports during the holidays and will not tolerate dangerous, disruptive or abusive behaviour from travellers.”

AAP put questions to Jetstar about the alleged incident but the airline did not directly answer if the Corrs had been blacklisted or would be allowed to fly again.

“We will never tolerate disruptive behaviour on our aircraft,” a spokesman said.

“The safety and wellbeing of customers and crew is our number one priority.”
