The worker, identified in media reports as Ben Innes, was aboard an EgyptAir plane flying from Alexandria to Cairo Tuesday when it was hijacked and forced to land in Cyprus.
Innes, reportedly a health and safety auditor, is believed to have approached the hijacker for the photo, which he then sent to friends.
In an uncropped version of the photo, the hijacker, identified as Seif Eldin Mustafa, can be seen wearing a white belt he had said was a suicide vest; it was later determined to be a fake.
