"Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior and will work with law enforcement authorities to that end," the Delta spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "We apologize to our customers for the delay in their travel."

The data indicated that the detour added more than two hours to the flight for travelers headed to Las Vegas. The plane eventually reached its final destination just after 11:35 am on Monday.

No further details about the incident were immediately made available.  

This is the second incident this month involving a disruption by a passenger on a Delta flight.

Dali was then arrested again after allegedly taking a Greyhound bus to Buffalo and trying to cross the border into Canada, according to reports.

Prosecutors at the Dec. 6 hearing allege that she tried to sneak into secure areas at multiple U.S. airports in an attempt to fly without a ticket.

Fox News Digital's Christina Shaw and Julian Atienza contributed to this report.
