Flight FR7063 was en route to Alicante when the pilot wired through to airport governing body AENA asking to make an emergency landing at the Cantabria terminal.
The culprits, thought to be a couple, were said to be inebriated and were becoming violent, causing widespread concern among other passengers and the cabin crew.
Due to the extent of their aggressiveness, the crew summoned the Guardia Civil, who were waiting on the tarmac at Santander-Seve Ballesteros airport when the craft landed at 16.00 yesterday (Wednesday).
Two police officers boarded the aircraft to order the troublemakers off, but the couple reportedly left the plane of their own free will.
They were arrested and charged with a breach of aviation security and banned from continuing their trip to El Altet-Elche airport, the main terminal for Costa Blanca holidaymakers.
The aircraft took off again at 17.00 and continued its journey to Alicante without any further ado.
