“Contact from the U.S. to make adjustments to resume Osprey flights” Defense Minister Kihara said.

Last November, a U.s. Air Force CV22 OSprey transport plane crashed off the coast of Yakushima, Kagoshima Prefecture, killing eight people. The U.N. Security Council has suspended flights of Ospreys around the world since December, citing safety concerns. It has been revealed that there has been a communication that they would like to make specific adjustments.
