South Africa's aviation regulator says it is investigating Airlink's low-level fly-past over Cape Town Stadium after the spectacle drew concern at home and abroad.
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) said it had obtained flight data from the airline and requested additional information as part of its review of the 29 August display.
