Indonesian authorities have identified the body of Bhavye Suneja, the Indian pilot who captained the ill-fated Lion Air flight that crashed into the sea on October 29, killing all 188 people who were on board.
Captain Suneja's remains will be handed over to his family at the Indian Embassy in Jakarta later today, said External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
Suneja, a resident of New Delhi's Mayur Vihar, was the captain of the ill-fated Lion Air flight JT-610.
Suneja, and his co-pilot, who were in charge of flight JT-610, collectively had over 11,000 hours of flying time, and were on a routine flight between the Indonesian cities of Jakarta and Pangkal Pinang when misfortune struck.
Suneja married in 2016 and was settled in Jakarta.
Suneja passed out of Mayur Vihar's Ahlcon Public School in 2005, and got his pilot license from Bel Air International in 2009.
In 2010, he joined Emirates as a trainee pilot and remained with the airlines for four months before leaving to join low-cost Indonesian carrier Lion Air in 2011.
Since then, Suneja has flown extensively, and had an incident-free, accident-free flying record.
