Summary
An easyJet flight to Liverpool turned back to Tenerife South Airport shortly after takeoff after about 10 passengers became involved in an onboard brawl.
Police met the 186-passenger aircraft on arrival, and the flight later resumed and continued to Liverpool.
easyJet said the group behaved disruptively and that cabin and ground crews are trained to respond quickly so passenger safety is not compromised.
The incident adds to a recent run of disruptive passenger episodes on commercial flights, including another case involving an emergency-exit opening during a long tarmac delay.
