Air crash investigators from the mainland have been sent to Taiwan to help investigate last week's TransAsia plane crash.

The three-person team will stay in Taipei for around a week.

Searchers are still searching for the bodies of three of the passangers who are still missing.

At the same time, the bodies of three mainlanders who died in the crash have arrived in the city of Xiamen.

Officials from Taiwan are coordinating the return of the victims.

Lin Chih-ming is with Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration.

"The integrated service center for handling post-crash affairs has opened counters in Taipei and the Kinmen airport. It has also formed a consolation service group to see the injured."

Of the 58 people on-board the flight, 15 managed to survive.

A memorial service for those killed is set to be held in Taipei later on today.
