Brazilian aerospace giant at a glance
A series of high-altitude eclipse observations are under way across Europe, North America and beyond. NASA-backed aircraft chase the moon’s shadow to extend totality, while airlines offer special flights and Iberia livestreams the event from Spain.
Airlink has conducted a low-altitude flyby over Cape Town Stadium before a rugby match, with authorities saying it complied with safety limits, while experts warn of risk and potential precedent for future stunts. The event has drawn global attention and sparked debate about aviation safety.
The SACAA has obtained flight data and is reviewing whether safety concerns from the recent Cape Town stadium flyover require further action. Airlink has withdrawn its Sept. 1 flyover because weather conditions were forecast to be unsafe. Authorities say a full report with recommendations will be issued after the assessment.
