Video shows the moment punches were thrown, while multiple people attempted to pull two men apart.
A passenger onboard witnessed the altercation and said it was "absolutely terrifying".
"It was unnerving," the passenger told 9News Melbourne.
"There was a commotion, there was yelling, people started standing up, it went on for a couple of minutes.
"One gentleman was then escorted to the rear of the aircraft, he had blood on his face... we didn't hear anything else, we had no information."
The passenger said without warning, the plane started descending and the captain carried out a priority landing.
"We didn't know what was happening," the passenger said.
A map of the flight's path shows the aircraft turned around near Mansfield and returned to Melbourne airport where Australian Federal Police removed the two people from the plane.
Passengers claim one of the men involved in the brawl was behaving aggressively before he boarded.
"The guy was aggressive before he got on the plane and we thought surely they won't let him on the aircraft," the passenger said.
A Jetstar spokesperson said the airline had a "zero tolerance for disruptive and abusive behaviour".
"The safety of our passengers and our crew is always our first priority and we thank our customers for their patience," the spokesperson said.
Shortly after landing, the flight resumed to Brisbane.
Australian Federal Police said no arrests had been made.
