The players were taking their seats on the Icelandair flight to London Heathrow at 0740am when trouble broke out before other players quickly intervened to calm the situation, and cabin crew staff reported the incident to Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington before the flight took off.
A statement on the Irish Football Association website read: "An incident occurred between team members of the senior Northern Ireland squad which the president (Raymond Kennedy) and chief executive (Howard Wells) are aware of. Both the president and the chief executive will investigate the situation and take appropriate action."
Northern Ireland went down to a 2-1 defeat in their Euro 2008 qualifier on Wednesday night.
