Emirates Ad Of A ‘Flight Attendant’ Standing On Top Of Burj Khalifa Is As Real As It Could Get As Airline Reveals How It Was Shot (13 Pics)
Just a few days ago, a new UAE Emirates Airlines ad has taken social media by storm. The advertisement celebrates the fact that the UK government was moving the UAE onto its “amber” list for travel. However, the said ad is special not only because of that, as the main thing that made it viral was the fact that it was filmed at the very top of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
At a height of 828 meters above the ground, the ad zooms in on Nicole Smith-Ludvik dressed as a cabin staff member in the iconic red Emirates hat and uniform, standing atop the tallest point of the building. It was mentioned that it took over an hour to reach the very top of the building by climbing from level 160. UAE’s Emirates Airlines ad was marked as one of the “highest ads ever filmed.”
However, just like everything else, the said ad was met by criticism as some people assumed the company used a green screen, and that the video was fake. To clear up any confusion, Emirates has released behind-the-scenes footage showing how this seemingly insane feat was made possible using only a single drone.
So, Pandas, what do you think of this? Would you be brave enough to climb to the very top of the Burj Khalifa yourselves?
