Action could be taken against Airlink over stadium flyover: SACAA
Airlink has maintained that the flights were performed within the Authority's approved safety limits
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) may take enforcement action against Airlink following its recent flyover of Cape Town Stadium, according to aviation regulators. The authority has given Airlink until Thursday to respond to its report on the flypast, which took place ahead of the Springboks and All Blacks rugby match on August 29th.
Airlink has claimed that the flights were conducted within the approved safety limits set by the SACAA. Commissioner Poppy Khoza of the Aviation Authority emphasizes that safety of passengers, crews, and the public remains the top priority, stating that the regulator will not compromise on safety, regardless of the operator's status.
SACAA will assess Airlink's response and take appropriate action in line with its mandate and regulatory processes.
