Benjamin Innes was one of the last captives to be released by Seif al-Din Mustafa during Tuesday's six-hour hijacking episode and took a picture with the man who claimed to be wearing a suicide vest.
A photograph shows Mr Innes grinning broadly as he stands next to Mustafa in the cabin of the hijacked Airbus 320 as it sat on the runway of an airport in Cyprus.
Mustafa, a 59-year-old Egyptian man, sparked alerts across the planet when he told the cabin crew of EgyptAir flight 181 that he had a bomb and forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing at Cyprus’s Larnaca airport.
But over the course of six strange hours, he issued a demand to see his Cypriot former wife and took pictures with Mr Innes before finally surrendering himself to police.
