A flyover performed by two Airlink Embraer E-Jets over a rugby stadium in Cape Town, South Africa, during a match between South Africa and New Zealand, has sparked widespread concern and shock online. Videos show the planes flying extremely low, appearing just meters above the packed stadium as fireworks were being set off. Many social media users, including a British TV presenter and pilot, expressed disbelief and warned of potential catastrophe, noting the planes appeared to be flying within 15 meters of the stadium. Airlink maintains the flyover was pre-planned, practiced, and fully authorized by South African aviation authorities and air traffic control, adhering to all regulations. Despite the global outcry, some South Africans claim such flyovers are a long-standing tradition performed safely by experienced pilots. The incident has ignited debate about acceptable safety margins during aerial displays over populated areas.
