The Brazilian aviation authority says 25 more bodies are scheduled to arrive at the Fernando de Noronha islands on Thursday, and from there, flown to Recife.
The autopsies may reveal clues about the crash.
A French nuclear submarine has arrived to join the search for the plane's black boxes.
It's a race against time. The crash was nearly two weeks ago, and the beacons start to fade after 30 days.
