The South African airline behind a dramatic stunt that saw two of its aircraft in close formation fly reportedly within feet of the top of a stadium has defended itself in the face of some criticism. The jets roared over Cape Town's DHL stadium as flares shot up before the start of a rugby match featuring fierce rivals South Africa and New Zealand. Some labelled the manoeuvre reckless, while others have praised the precision and expertise required to pull it off. In response, Airlink said it was carefully planned with the support of the aviation authorities. Tap the link in @BBCNews’s bio to read what else the airline said. #BBCNews
