Egypt Air Boeing 737-800 that "has been hijacked" to Cyprus was flying from the Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria.

A hijacker who diverted an EgyptAir flight to Cyprus on Tuesday has released everyone on board except four foreign passengers and the crew, the airline said on Twitter.

The company had earlier tweeted that five foreigners and the crew remained on board, after negotiations with the hijacker who commandeered the domestic flight to Larnaca airport.

Negotiations with the Hijacker result in the release of all the passengers, except the crew and four foreigners.
