A flight carrying seven coffins landed at the Eindhoven air force. The remains were later transferred to a forensic laboratory in Hilversum east of Amsterdam for identification.
To date, all but two of the 298 victims have been identified.
The Dutch government last week said Dutch and international experts had finally finished recovering body parts and wreckage from the crash site.
The Boeing 777 was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it went down in eastern Ukraine on July 17, killing all passengers and crew on board, two thirds of them Dutch.
