The airline released a video on social media showing an air hostess standing at the highest point of the latest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. She was holding up signs with a message meant to signify how the airline felt on top of the world after some good news.
This was to celebrate the UAE being removed from the UK's red list, allowing flights from the middle east onto their land. A video shared by The Sun on Twitter revealed the team tasked with the job had to undertake rigorous planning and a strict safety protocol.
The team climbed for over an hour from level 160 of the building to the top to film one of the highest ads ever.
The flight attendant had a lovely message for her mum as she could be heard saying:
"Hi mom, I'm on top of the world."
