Airlink has defended its low-level formation flyover ahead of the rugby match between the Springboks and the All Blacks at Cape Town's DHL Stadium on Saturday. The flyover has gone viral with many spectators initially questioning on social media if the surreal footage was artificial intelligence-generated.

The experience has since prompted people to express concerns on social media and online forums, with some raising questions about the safety of the flyby. For analysis we are joined by an aviation analyst Phuthego Mojapele
