Flybys and Fear: The South African Airline That Took It Too Far The recent viral video of two passenger jets performing a low altitude flyby over Cape Town's DHL Stadium has raised concerns about the safety protocols in place within South Africa's aviation industry.
While the spectacle may have thrilled the crowd, it has also sparked questions about potential risks and whether the regulator, SACAA, is doing enough to ensure compliance with international standards.
The incident occurred on August 29, when two Airlink planes flew at an altitude of less than 50 feet above the packed stadium, prompting widespread discussion on social media.
