Kochi, March 31 The remains of 20 people who died in separate incidents 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.
He said that no passengers are on board the flight.
Officials said arrangements have been made to dispatch the bodies to their respective hometowns as soon as they arrive.
