Cypriot government confirms the hijacker has been detained and that all of the passengers who were onboard are "safe."
A man emerged from the aircraft and then walked across the tarmac with his hands up to two awaiting counter-terrorism police officers, an AFP correspondent reported.
They laid him on the ground and searched him for around two minutes before taking him away.
The hijacker had claimed to be wearing an explosives belt when he took over the plane.

i am so happy for its passengers but his motive for his actions is so illogical and ridiculous.. if you have some problems in your household, you must solve them with speaking not hijacking a plane ..
You imagine this guy bouncing the plan off his buddies on a night of drinking and them all saying it sounds like a good idea!
I better keep my inner asshole shut away when I am drinking,never know which friend might go through with something as dumb as this. The photo tops it all off for me.

That egyptian foreign ministry official was right, he 's an idiot indeed. However his drama with his ex-wife going to be sorted out as probably he will spend a long tome behind bars.
Terror on air still continues, how come he could hijack the aircraft ,it shows that when a real terrorist wanted to hijack an aircraft even with this kind of security and measures they can still hijack an aircraft, which is kind of silly.
Someone made a good point: he's not a terrorist, he's an idiot!
Kind of good it was all a hoax, it seems like an obvious possibility that no one had considered before. At least now they can try to come up with a plan to counter it without reacting to a real plane exploding. The measures some people will take for refuge is crazy and dangerous. I dare say send him straight back to Egypt, but he would probably be executed which is unacceptable.

Also watching this from Bloomberg it's interesting that the hostages were mostly released.
Perhaps a chance of defusing the situation is still possible either way its worth watching.

A Cairo-bound EgyptAir plane has been hijacked and has landed at Larnaca airport in Cyprus. Here's what we know so far.
- There were at least 81 people on board
- All passengers released except for crew and 5 foreigners
- Egypt officials skeptical of reports that passenger has explosive belt
Hijacker is an American-Egyptian national -- incident is over ex-wife
The hijacker is an Egyptian-American dual citizen named Ibrahim Samaha, Egyptian presidential spokesman Alaa Yousuf tells CNN's Ian Lee.
Samaha hijacked the plane over his ex-wife, a spokesperson for the Cyprus Ministry of transport tells CNN.
The incident is not related to terrorism, he said.
