The crash of a U.S. Air Force CV-22 Osprey during a training mission in Florida on Wednesday may delay the aircraft?s deployment to Japan, the government said Thursday.
Five crew members were injured in the accident which has raised anew fears about the aircraft?s safety.
The U.S. plans to test 24 MV-22 Osprey aircraft at the U.S. base in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, in July, ahead of their scheduled deployment at the Futenma base in Okinawa in August.
However, Yamaguchi Sekinari Nii met with Defense Minister Satoshi Morimoto on Thursday and called for the deployment to be suspended, TV Asahi reported. Nii said the safety of the aircraft cannot be guaranteed.
Later Thursday, Morimoto met with U.S. Ambassador John Roos and asked the U.S. to provide full details of the Florida accident as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said that Japan will suspend deployment procedures pending the results of the U.S. investigation, TV Asahi reported.?
