DHL Stadium

DHL Stadium, located in Cape Town, South Africa, is a venue that recently hosted a significant rugby union Test match between South Africa and New Zealand. The stadium was filled with an estimated crowd of 56,000 spectators. The location gained recent media attention due to a pre-game aerial stunt performed by local airline Airlink. Two Embraer jets flew at a dramatically low altitude over the packed stadium just before the match commenced, accompanied by flares. While the stunt elicited cheers from the crowd, it also ignited a considerable debate regarding aviation safety risks and the perceived recklessness of the maneuver. The airline has since defended its actions in response to the criticism, highlighting the event's prominence in recent news cycles concerning aviation safety and major sporting events in South Africa.
