A passenger has opened a rear exit and slid down an emergency chute as an airliner prepared for take-off to Athens, police in Cyprus have said.
A police spokesman said the 28-year-old sailor, who holds a Greek passport, then jumped the Larnaca airport fence and disappeared.
A formal arrest warrant was being issued on charges of breaking civil aviation safety regulations and entering a prohibited airport space without permission.
Investigators do not know what spurred the man to leave the Cyprus Airways jet carrying 158 passengers moments after the captain ordered the crew to lock the aircraft doors.
