Family members of the 23 mainland tourists and a tour guide killed in a bus fire in Taiwan will arrive in Taipei on Thursday, as authorities on both sides of the Straits work together to handle the accident aftermath.

A chartered flight of China Southern Airlines with more than 90 people expected on board will leave Dalian, Liaoning province, where most of the victims were from, at about 1:15 pm on Thursday and arrive in Taipei at 4:10 pm, according to the airline.

The Taiwan authority has requested that contact points be set up to receive the victims' family members, provide transportation and prepare documents informing them of their rights.
