Otherwise I don't see what a hijacking accomplished here.
Unless, of course, it was a failed hijacking and they never made it to where the hijackers wanted/demanded. But like you say, usually hijackings come with a goal of some kind. And terrorism would likely come with some sort of claim of responsibility.
