RAAF C-130 arrives at CBR with Deceased

Not to sure if this is the right place for my question, so feel free to move it please Mods.

The bodies of those Australians killed in the Garuda crash have just arrived here in Canberra in a C-130, my question is, why are their bodies transported in a RAAF Herc? why not charter/RPT? is it standard protocal for Aussies killed overseas to have their remains repatriated as such? as far as i know they were not military personal serving their country.

It is a honest question that i'm just curious to know the answer to, no disrespect to those that were killed or to their familys intended.
