Kochi, Mar 31 (PTI) The mortal remains of 20 people who died in separate cases in Kuwait will arrive at the international airport here on Tuesday on a single flight after delays due to service disruptions, airport officials said here.
The bodies will be brought on a special Kuwait Airways flight operating as KU5632 from Kuwait via Colombo to Kochi, an airport spokesman said.
No passengers are on board the flight, he said.
Officials said arrangements have been made to dispatch the bodies to their respective hometowns soon after arrival.
The deceased are from different parts of Kerala, including Kozhikode, Alappuzha and Kottayam, while some will be transported to destinations in Tamil Nadu.
Airport authorities said the repatriation had been pending due to earlier service disruptions in Kuwait due to the war in West Asia. PTI TGB ROH
