SPANAIR CRASH VICTIM'S BODY ARRIVES IN JAKARTA
Jakarta, Sept 3 (ANTARA) - The body of Nguni Toka Rondonuwu (31), an Indonesian national who was killed in a Spanair crash in Madrid last August, is scheduled to arrive here on Wednesday afternoon, Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Teuku Faizasyah said on Wednesday.
"Rondonuwu's body is scheduled to arrive at Soekarno-Hatta airport here at 5:35 on Wednesday afternoon," Teuku Faizasyah said, adding that the body would arrive with several members of Rondonuwu's family and Indonesian embassy staff in Madrid.
He added that the body would be flown on Garuda Indonesia GA600 at 9:49 on Thursday morning to Manado, North Sulawesi, for burial.
Nguni Toka Rondonuwu, a crew member of a cruiser in Canary Islands, was one of 153 fatalities in a Spanair crash on August 20, 2008 in Madrid, Spain.
The Spanish jet heading for the Canary Islands crashed on takeoff and burst into flames at Madrid airport, killing 153 people on board.
According to a Reuters report, smoke billowed up near Terminal Four from the remains of Spanair's Flight JK5022, an MD-82 JET bound for Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, which broke into pieces in an accident which left 19 survivors.
The 15-year-old plane, with 166 passengers and nine crew, shot off the runway at 2:45 p.m. local time (1345 GMT).
