You're referring to the cousin (not nephew) of Javier and Liliana? That would be Nando's best friend, Francisco "Panchito" Abal, who was sitting next to Nando in the plane (think of the scene where they switched seats so that Panchito was at the window when the crash came). He suffered a brain hemorrhage during the crash (and died during the night) so he didn't play a role in the film after that.

You can see a photo of the real Panchito here:

He worked in the family cigarette factory and had a whole bunch of cigarettes in his luggage (they were taking these to Chile to trade or gift to the team there, where cigarettes were in short supply). Javier was a CEO or something similar of the cigarette factory.
