Airlink, Southern Africa’s premier airline, this afternoon staged a memorable formation flyby over the 10bet Ellis Park Rugby Stadium, setting the stage for the highly anticipated Castle Double Malt Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Series between South Africa’s Springboks and New Zealand’s All Blacks.
The flyby was performed by two of Airlink’s bespoke-liveried Embraer aircraft (ZS-YAE E190 in green, and ZS-YDE E195 in black), reflecting the colours of the two competing teams and bearing the official Tour logo.
Airlink is the official domestic airline for Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry 2026 Tour and is flying the New Zealand and South African teams and personnel between their matches being played in South Africa.
