The hijacking of Egypt Air flight MS181 is over after the alleged hijacker Eldin Mustafa gave himself up and was arrested by authorities at Larnaca airport in Cyprus.

All passengers and crew who were aboard the plane are confirmed as being safe. It has also been confirmed that the ‘suicide bomb belt’ being worn by the hijacker was a fake.

Officials stated earlier that the hijacking was not an act of terrorism, but rather that Eldin Mustafa appeared to be psychologically unstable and was seeking to speak to his Cypriot ex-wife.

“He started asking for European Union representatives to assure him about matters that had no logical basis,” Cyprus’s Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides told reporters.

Passengers on the hijacked Egypt Air flight MS181 aircraft have been released, according to the airline. The passengers disembarked from the plane on the tarmac at Larnaca airport in Cyprus.
