Osprey flight suspension lifted, concerns raised over restart in US. In November of last year, a US military Osprey transport plane crashed off the coast of Yakushima, Kagoshima Prefecture, killing all eight people on board.

The US military announced measures to suspend flights of Ospreys deployed around the world. The U.S. military has said that the Marine Corps and Air Force will decide on the specific timing of resuming flights, but there are voices of concern in the United States.
