Two Airlink Embraer jets conducted a low-altitude flyby over Cape Town Stadium on August 29, 2026, ahead of a rugby Test match between South Africa and New Zealand attended by approximately 56,000 spectators. The airline, a sponsor of the South African team, stated the operation followed safety regulations and involved crews of three senior captains per aircraft with no passengers aboard. Altitude estimates from Flightradar24 and preliminary data differ, prompting discussion of the maneuver's safety parameters.
