EgyptAir announced in a statement that only crew and four foreigners remained on the hijacked Egyptian plane that was forced to divert to Cyprus on Tuesday.
It said that negotiations had resulted in the release of all those on board apart from the crew and four foreign passengers.
Video from the scene shows people leaving the plane and boarding a bus.
Larnaca airport has been closed and scheduled flights diverted elsewhere.
"The pilot said that a passenger told him he had an explosives vest and forced the plane to land in Larnaca," the Egyptian civil aviation ministry said in a statement.
"The information we have so far is that it is one hijacker. The person has yet to make any demands," Cypriot foreign ministry Alexandros Zenon told French television
