The team said in a statement, "The cold front is too dangerous to cross, so we have decided to land in Nagoya airfield, and wait for better weather conditions in order to continue." An initial analysis of the Flight Data Recorder from the Airbus A400M which went down in Spain resulting in the fatal injury of four people shows there were no mechanical or structural issues with the aircraft.
