Aviation Regulator Reviews Safety Concerns After Dramatic Flyover
The South African Civil Aviation Authority is reviewing a dramatic low-altitude flyover by two Airlink passenger jets before a rugby match at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium, after it drew safety concerns from spectators and aviation experts. The regulator has obtained flight data recordings and requested additional information from Airlink as part of its assessment. Airlink has withdrawn plans for another flyover at an upcoming rugby match in Soweto. The incident has sparked a debate over the safety risks of such flyovers, with some experts questioning whether the aircraft had left too little margin for error.
