I was looking at this on Sky News, and it wasn’t a pretty sight. Airbus has had problems with the A400M, but until the investigation is concluded it would be difficult to know if the crash was caused by mechanical or pilot failure. (Hard to imagine it being terrorist-related, but it isn’t impossible.)

The airport in Seville is NE of the city. I wonder if the incoming flights were diverted to Cordoba or Gibralter; the latter would make aeronautical sense, but would cause political hassles.

Good afternoon.

...the latter would make aeronautical sense, but would cause political hassles.

And probably will into the future. Methinks Spain and England should play a game of cricket to decide the whole affair. Once and for all.

Neither:

"Three incoming flights were diverted to Jérez and Málaga "
