The sprawling bust-up unfolded on flight EZY3352 which departed from Tenerife South Airport just before 8pm local time on Tuesday.
Flight tracking data shows the jet returned to the same airport at 9:05pm.
It is not clear whether the passengers accused of being in the fight were British, or if any were arrested.
Spanish air traffic authorities said: “The crew of the flight from Tenerife South to Liverpool informed us, after about 30 minutes in the air, that they needed to return to the airport and requested a police presence upon arrival.
“A group of around 10 passengers had started a fight on board, and the captain decided to turn back because of the danger this posed to the safety of the flight.”
They added: “We expedited their return as much as possible while coordinating with the airport to ensure a police presence.
“They landed and vacated runway 07 without incident.
“Our full support goes to the crews and passengers who are having to endure these situations more and more often.”
