Airlink withdraws plan for another flypast as South African authority probes Cape Town stunt

Airlink has retracted its application to conduct a flypast scheduled for the weekend following an investigation by the South African regulatory body. This action stems from a previous low pass over a stadium in Cape Town that occurred during the international rugby tournament. The regulator initiated an inquiry into this incident involving two Airlink Embraer jets – specifically, an E195 and another unspecified aircraft. Details regarding the exact nature of the probe remain limited at present, but it is ongoing. Airlink’s decision reflects a precautionary measure while the investigation proceeds.
