'Chomi, we're doing it again' | FNB enters the Airlink fly-over chat
Yep, we are getting another fly-over this Saturday, and it looks like FNB SA is just as thrilled.
The Airlink fly-over over Cape Town's DHL Stadium prior to the Springboks' clash against the All Blacks has become a trending topic on social media. FNB South Africa has chimed in on the conversation, sending a gentle reminder to Airlink regarding the recent incident. Ahead of South Africa's third Test against New Zealand at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, another flyover is set to take place.
This follow-up fly-over comes after the controversial and viral fly-by that featured Airlink Embraer aircraft painted in the colors of the opposing teams. The low-altitude fly-over, which has captured the attention of many, involved careful planning and rehearsal. The airline worked closely with the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) and Air Traffic Navigation Services to ensure the safety of the operation.
The two aircraft, operated by experienced crews, maintained flight data that confirmed adherence to safety altitude and speed limits. FlightRadar24's analysis of the aircraft's ADS-B altitude data corroborated that the planes passed just 50 feet above the stadium's top. The airline has offered SACAA the black-box data from the aircraft for further scrutiny.
