A SAX South African Express Canadaiir CRJ-200, registration ZS-NMF performing flight SA-1336 from Durban to Port Elizabeth (South Africa), was on a final visual approach to Port Elizabeth's runway 26.

A SAA South African Airways Airbus A320-200, registration ZS-SZZ performing flight SA-410 from Port Elizabeth to Johannesburg (South Africa), not yet lined up received clearance for an immediate takeoff from runway 26 with the addition "no stopping on the runway".
