Mangalore crash: Pilot's body to be flown to Frankfurt: Air India

Mumbai/Mangalore: Air India spokesperson Harpreet Singh De on Monday said the body of 53-year-old pilot, Zlatko Glusica, who was killed in Saturday's Air India Express crash in Mangalore, will be flown to Frankfurt for last rites.
Zlatko Glusica was a British national of Serbian origin, who had been employed with Air India for over two years.
De said Glusica's body would first be flown to New Delhi, where embassy formalities would be completed before his body is cleared for proceeding to Frankfurt.
"From New Delhi, the body will be sent to Frankfurt, which again will be received by Air India staff. We have made arrangements for the family members of the captain to come to Frankfurt because he is actually based in Belgrade," said De.
"From Frankfurt, the body will move to Belgrade, with his family, his son and his brother, who will be coming there to Frankfurt and Air India officials who will accompany them to Belgrade," she added. She stated that the DNA testing for the remaining 22 unidentified bodies have begun, and around 80 samples have been collected and sent to Hyderabad for tests.
