An Australian tourist who "joked" about jumping off an AirAsia flight to Bali has been banned from returning to Indonesia for six months.
Aaron Gerrard Dolden, 25, from Sydney, was detained on arrival at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport on   May 27 after he was accused of endangering the safety of the flight under aviation law. 
Airport authority officer Ade Yuliana said AirAsia crew reported Mr Dolden said he would jump from the plane before the meal was served.
Mr Ade said on Friday Mr Dolden had been found not to be in breach of aviation law.
However he and another man, Pasalic Alen, 27, would be banned by the Immigration Department from visiting Indonesia for six months for being unruly passengers.
"Let this be a lesson, that everybody has to obey the law of the country, wherever they are," Mr Ade said.
Mr Dolden, Mr Alen and nine friends had been travelling on a Sydney to Denpasar flight for a week's holiday in Bali.
An airport authority letter said it had been determined the "unruly act" was carried out under the influence of excessive alcohol and was not premeditated.
It was also determined the incident was not related to any mental disorder or radical movement.

 In an unruly passenger flight explanation letter, crew reported that the group had made a nuisance of themselves by repeatedly pushing the button requesting a flight attendant, asking crew for beer and bothering other passengers.
They also reportedly made fun of crew members, blocked the toilets and made a "recording of a crew's body with phone".
Mr Ade said the AirAsia crew reported a man saying he would jump from the plane before the meal was served. "There were a group of 11 men near the lavatory. They were noisy," he said.
In an interview with AirAsia safety and security officer Suradi Haryanto, Mr Dolden said he was only joking and didn't mean he would jump off the plane.
"I was chatting with another group of young men, talking about skydiving," Mr Dolden said according to the transcript.
"At that time my friend said he often goes skydiving and I joked back by saying: 'Don't worry I will be the first person to jump from the plane right now'. The crew talked to me and said I couldn't say that and that security would be called upon arrival. I then said: 'We are not scared of security'."
Mr Ade said airport authorities had contacted the immigration department, who would soon return Mr Dolden's passport.
"Upon which he will return to his country soon," Mr Ade said. "He's also been blacklisted from entering Indonesia for the next six months. He is not under arrest."
