The fight happened infront of passengers who were left horrifierd
The dramatic clip, filmed at Palma airport in the capital, shows the pair trading blows.
They were seen throwing punches and holding collars as confused passengers
Just a few seconds later, one of the drivers falls to his knees before an onlooker with a backpack steps in a bid to quell the spat.
The bystander is seen restraining the other driver with a bear hug from behind - but the man fights to escape his clutch.
Security officials at the airport were forced to intervene to put an end to the fight, Majorca Daily Bulletin reports.
National Police officers went to the scene and took the details of the two men. Neither of them had suffered a serious injury.
A fellow taxi driver who was present at the scene said the drivers were fightig like "pirates".
He said: "They pick up customers inside the airport, but they should not," he told the Spanish media outlet.
Over the years, there has been an increase in hostility between minibus operators and licensed taxi over customer pickups from the airport.
Even then, locals say a physical a fight between them is a rare occassion.
It comes after a Brit got knocked-out after receiving a sucker-punch amid a row with Benidorm bouncers.
Footage from a fortnight ago shows the lad being knocked to the ground as fellow holidaymakers rush to his aid.
The Brit, dressed in a white t-shirt and trousers, appears caught up in a heated exchange as a friend steps in to try and quell the argument.
As tensions escalate, the man is seen being brutally punched in the face and falling to the ground, contorting one of his legs.
The shocking clip then shows a woman in a pink cowboy hat rushing to the man's aid as a group of lads row with the security guards.
According to one onlooker, the scuffle escalated when one man - who appeared to be a local - asked the other to leave the bar.
The fight also comes just a month after two Brits were caught brawling in Tenerife.
The violent footage filmed in Playa de Las Américas sparked fury among locals on the popular holiday island.

Young lorry driver killed after ‘falling asleep at wheel' in horror Scots crash
The inquiry also found that no reasonable precautions could have been taken that might realistically have avoided the death ROAD TRAGEDY Young lorry driver killed after 'falling asleep at wheel' in horror Scots crash Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LORRY driver was killed in a horror crash on a Scots road after falling asleep at the wheel, an inquiry has ruled. Thomas Hein, a 25-year-old German national and experienced HGV driver, died on July 14, 2023. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The crash happened on the A74(M) near Moffat The incident occurred when the articulated lorry he was driving left the A74(M) Carlisle to Glasgow Road, near Moffat, and overturned. A Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) into his tragic passing determined that Mr Hein's cause of death was asphyxia, or oxygen deprivation, due to lung and heart compression sustained in the crash. The inquiry, led by Sheriff Colm P. Dempsey, heard that no evidence was found to suggest catastrophic mechanical failure, driver impairment, or the involvement of another vehicle. There was also no sign of Mr Hein taking evasive actions like emergency braking or steering to correct the vehicle's path. This led the Sheriff to conclude that the cause of the accident was "inevitably a matter of inference." Despite evidence showing Mr Hein had observed all proper rest periods, the Sheriff determined that Mr Hein had most likely fallen asleep at the wheel. Mr Hein had been travelling as part of a convoy from Hull to Perth with two colleagues, having journeyed from Rotterdam to Hull on an overnight ferry. At around 2.06pm, his vehicle failed to negotiate a slight right-hand bend, left the carriageway, travelled over a grass verge and onto an embankment before overturning. His colleagues and members of the public rushed to his aid but were unable to reach him through the doors or windscreen. He was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene by an on-call doctor at 2.30pm. Tragic train driver is cleared of any blame in Stonehaven rail crash as report reveals blunders The inquiry also found that no reasonable precautions could have been taken that might realistically have avoided the death. No defects in any system of working were found to have contributed to the tragedy, and no other recommendations for preventing similar future deaths were made. Sheriff P Colm Dempsey concluded: "Thomas Hein was a 25-year-old man who was much loved by his family and friends. He was a hard working and experienced professional driver. "The cause of the accident has inevitably to be a matter of inference. On the available evidence, the conclusion which I have reached, is that Mr Hein fell asleep at the wheel, his vehicle thereafter failed to negotiate a slight right hand bend and left the carriageway before overturning." He added: "I express my condolences to the family and friends of Mr Hein. Möge erin Frieden ruhen."
