"All of the victims found can be identified with certainty and handed over to the family. I underline again, all the victims found in any form will be identified and will be submitted by the team later to the family," Gen. Sutarman was quoted as saying by Indonesia's DetikCom news website.
The remains of 34 victims recovered so far have been flown to the city of Surabaya, the departure point of flight QZ8501. Nine of the bodies have been identified and given to the families for burial.
According to the police chief, a team of 260 Indonesian and foreign experts are working on identifying victims' bodies.
AirAsia's flight QZ8501, en route to Singapore, lost contact with air traffic control on the morning of December 28 after requesting and being denied permission to increase altitude to avoid dangerous cloud formations.
Earlier on Monday, the Transportation Ministry said AirAsia was not authorized to fly the Surabaya-Singapore route on that particular day.
