Are there any confirmations as to where the flight started Pat. All sorts of media reports here. Some sat Cairo, some Alexandra. (eg one report on facebook It was flying from Saudi via Alexander to Cairo it's not yet confirmed where he boarded either Saudi or alaxandera.) |

Egyptian minister quotes - he is not a terrorist he's an idiot. Not the time to discuss security lapses. |

Fun at Larnaca Airport as passengers arrive to return home and all the flights have been diverted - I expect to Paphos. Edit - Confirming all flights landing at Paphos, all passengers being asked to contact their airlines prior to travelling to Larnaca. |

Whatever the reason, it's scary that someone could pull off a hijack :-0 And if it is a domestic too, even more scary :-0 :-0 |

I agree Fly and they will have to have an inquiry about how it happened. I don't have too much faith in the Egyptian authorities after the bomb explosion on the Russian plane. |

If he does have a suicide belt heads will roll somewhere for lack of security or if he's bluffing he's showed how easy it is to do it. |
