The same passenger who was discovered stowing away on a Delta Air Lines flight from New York to Paris earlier in the week became unruly aboard a returning flight on Saturday, delaying the plane’s departure, an aviation official said.
Flight 265 to John F. Kennedy International Airport took off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris more than two hours after it left the gate on Saturday afternoon, according to the tracking website FlightAware.
Morgan Durrant, a representative for Delta, said the delay was caused by “an unruly customer.” The passenger was removed from the flight by the French authorities, he said.
The same passenger boarded Flight 264 to Paris from Kennedy International as a stowaway on Tuesday, the aviation official familiar with the episode said.
The passenger got on that flight by bypassing two identity verification and boarding status stations, said a representative for the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, or T.S.A.
Police officers boarded Flight 264 when it landed at Charles de Gaulle on Wednesday, one of the passengers, Rob Jackson, later told The New York Times.
Mr. Jackson said he overheard a flight attendant telling another crew member that a woman had been hopping from one lavatory to another throughout the flight without ever going to a seat.
The Saturday incident on Flight 265 from Paris to New York was reported earlier by CBS News.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates Kennedy Airport, referred inquiries about the Saturday flight to the T.S.A. and Delta. The T.S.A. and the F.B.I. declined to comment, and referred questions to the authorities at Charles de Gaulle, which did not respond to requests for comment.

Shake Shack is taking their signature cheeseburger to 30,000 feet with a partnership with Delta Airlines. For many, there are moments when only a cheeseburger will suffice — during a frantic Christmas shopping trip, when we are feeling a little worse for wear, and in a week or so, some fortunate passengers can chow down on Shake Shack as part of their in-flight meal on routes over 900 miles. And I say “some” because this privilege is reserved for Delta’s flist-class passengers. From December 1, the world-famous burgers will be available on select long-haul flights out of Boston.
