The men were on a flight chartered by an oil industry company which left from Las Palmas and arrived at Dyce on Sunday evening. Ryan Massie, 24, Hugh MacLeod, 23, Gary Moar, 40, Ryan Gunn, 34, Craig Cameron, 33, and Andrew Morrisey, 29, denied various charges.
Grampian Police said the men were arrested just after 1900 GMT following their arrival. They were arrested after a flight chartered by an oil industry company landed in Aberdeen from Las Palmas.
They are expected to appear from custody at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in connection with various incidents. Mr Gunn was also charged with exposing himself. All six were released at Aberdeen Sheriff Court to face trial.

Crew members were understood to have raised the alarm before the plane landed, amid concerns about the behaviour of passengers. The six men allegedly refused to obey the captain's orders to wear their safety belts.
Astraeus spokesman Iain Macauley told the BBC Scotland news website: "There were incidents on board, the crew radioed ahead to request the police. Six people were arrested." They are also alleged to have been acting in an aggressive manner, singing and shouting on the plane.
Petrolia Drilling is a Norwegian-based company with offices in Aberdeen. Mr Cameron allegedly seized hold of an air stewardess and touched her on the leg.
A spokesman for Petrolia told BBC Scotland: "There was a disturbance on a crew change flight and six passengers were detained and are due to appear in court charged under the Civil Aviation Act." Mr Gunn was also charged with public indecency after allegedly exposing himself.
He said Petrolia would carry out a full investigation. The plane involved in Sunday's incident was a Boeing 737 with 55 people on board and was chartered by Petrolia Drilling from the company Astraeus.
Three of the men are understood to be direct employees and the other three contractors.
Neither Astraeus nor Petrolia could comment further at this stage due to the court proceedings.
