A passenger airplane has been hijacked and landed in Cyprus Tuesday morning. The Airbus 320 airplane belongs to the fleet of ‘Egypt Air’ and is carrying 81 passengers. The Cypriot public order ministry is in an emergency meeting to examine all aspects of the situation. The plane was on a domestic Alexandria-Cairo flight and requested permission for an emergency landing at the Larnaka airport in Cyprus. Cypriot authorities told ‘Proto Thema’ that information is unclear whether there are hijackers on board or there is an explosive mechanism on the plane. Other sources say the incident is a hijacking, with authorities saying the demands of the hijackers have not been clarified yet. The Larnaka airport has been shut down and ambulances have arrived on the scene.
