The hijack of EgyptAir Flight MS181 on Tuesday after its take-off from Alexandria may have ended safely But security questions raised are likely to deal another blow to the Egyptian tourism industry.
Speaking to reporters as the hostage drama at Larnaca, Cyprus, came to an end, Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail said that the hijacker at one point demanded a meeting with a representative of the EU and at another point demanded that the plane leave for another airport.
