A Singapore Airlines (SIA) Airbus A380 had to turn back to Paris on 16 December after the power went out in its galley.
While the fault did not pose a safety issue, the Singapore-bound aircraft was turned back to Paris two hours into the flight because food could not be served on board, says an SIA spokesman.
The 444 passengers remained on board while engineers tried to fix the problem at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, he adds.
The aircraft was later declared serviceable but by then, the flight and cabin crew had already exceeded their operating hours, says the spokesman.
Arrangements were made to accommodate some passengers in hotels, while others left on other airlines.
The aircraft will depart Paris today for Singapore at 12:00 GMT, says the spokesman.
The incident is the latest in a series of glitches affecting the superjumbo aircraft.
On 14 December, an Air France A380 bound for Paris did not take off from New York because of a fuel tank problem.
On 27 November, Air France turned back a Paris-bound A380 to New York after a problem with its navigation system.
Two months before that, another SIA A380 returned to Paris mid-flight after one of its four engines failed.
