Are low flights dangerous?

While any flight carries inherent risks, carefully planned and approved low flybys, like Airlink's, are designed to be safe. The key is rigorous planning, rehearsal, and strict adherence to safety protocols set by aviation authorities. The airline stated flight data confirmed it was within safety limits, mitigating the perceived danger.
