A passenger who took a photo with the Cyprus plane hijacker has been identified as Ben Innes, a British health and safety auditor from Leeds.
He was one of two Britons held hostage on the EgyptAir jet after it was forced to land in Cyprus by a hijacker strapped with fake explosives.
Mr Innes, who is in his 20s and studied at the University of York, is seen with a massive grin, alongside his Egyptian captor, Seif Eldin Mustafa.
The hijacker's fake suicide belt is clearly visible.
It later turned out to be packed with mobile phone covers rather than explosives, Cyprus' Foreign Minister said.
Mr Innes' mother Pauline Innes told Sky News she is "absolutely delighted he is well".
She also expressed her relief that "everything is resolved".
His sister Sarah Innes tweeted: "Only Ben could get a selfie #proud".
his LinkedIn page, Mr Innes, who works in Aberdeen, said his experience includes working in "high hazard" industries.
He is thought to have been one of the final hostages seen fleeing the plane after the hours-long stand-off.
Mustafa then slowly emerged from the aircraft with his hands aloft.
Although his motives remain unclear, Cyprus' foreign minister said it had not been a terrorist act.
"This is not about terrorism," he told reporters.
"This is about the individual action of a person who is psychologically unstable."
