A United Airlines aircraft that landed yesterday morning at Pago Pago International Airport brought the remains of a woman that had been wrongly sent to Micronesia.
Hawaiian Airlines has not responded to emails but according to airport sources there had been a mix up resulting in two bodies ending up at the wrong destinations.
The woman’s relatives had plans to bury her yesterday.
Meanwhile a body that was to be sent to Micronesa was sent here instead. According to our sources, the United Air plane will be taking that body back to Honolulu.
The United Airlines plane is to depart today.
Hawaiian Air Local Manager Tuli Fruean referred questions to Airline Vice President Ann Botticelli who had not responded to emails by news time.
