A 59-year-old man arrested after he hijacked an EgyptAir flight and forced it to land in Larnaca was on Wednesday remanded in custody for eight days, Cyprus Mail reported on Wednesday.
Amidst tight security and a courtroom buzzing with foreign and local press, Seif Eldin Moustafa presented himself without a lawyer and did not object to the remand order.
The EgyptAir plane flying from Alexandria to Cairo was hijacked and forced to land in Cyprus on Tuesday by Moustafa, with what authorities said was a fake suicide belt.
He was arrested after giving himself up.
