South Africa aviation regulator probes low jet flypast over Cape Town stadium

South Africa's aviation regulator, the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA), is investigating a low flypast by two Airlink passenger jets before a rugby match at Cape Town's DHL Stadium. The event, which drew safety concerns, has prompted the regulator to review the incident and assess if any safety risks were involved.

SACAA has obtained flight data recordings and requested additional information from Airlink as part of its assessment. The agency stated that it is critical to interrogate the events of the past weekend to determine if there were any safety concerns that warrant a review. Airlink has withdrawn plans for another flyover at the upcoming rugby match in Soweto.
