Statement on the flyby at Cape Town DHL Stadium
30 August 2026, Cape Town - Airlink notes the concerns expressed in various social media and online forums regarding yesterday’s formation flyby over Cape Town’s DHL Stadium.
The flight demanded careful planning and rehearsal, as it required navigating at low altitude, at around 150 knots. The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) and Air Traffic Navigation Services provided valuable guidance, approval and support to ensure a safe flyby.
The two aircraft were flown by highly-experienced crew, with each comprised of three senior captains operating in the roles of commander, co-pilot and safety/technical officer.
The data recorded by both aircraft’s digital flight data recorders (black boxes) indicate that the flights were performed within the SACAA’s approved and rehearsed safety altitude and speed limits for the flypast.
Airlink, on its own initiative, has volunteered these data sets to the SACAA so it can independently review and verify that the flypast was in accordance with the flight authorisation.
While Airlink appreciates the interest and concern, it will refrain from making any further comments while the SACAA reviews the flight data.
