A video showing two Embraer E-Jet 190 aircraft flying extremely close to the roof of the DHL Stadium in Cape Town during a live broadcast of a rugby match between South Africa's Springboks and New Zealand's All Blacks has gone viral online. The low-altitude flight occurred just before the game started and caused concern among viewers who questioned whether the maneuver was within safety regulations. According to reports, one of the planes reportedly flew as low as 15 meters above the stadium roof. However, the airline Airlink later denied claims that the flights were below the minimum allowed altitude, stating that the operation was carefully planned and approved by aviation authorities SACAA and ATNS. Despite this, the dramatic visuals overshadowed the sports event and sparked discussions about the proximity of the aircraft to the crowd.
