As described in the video, the advertisement was filmed without any help of green screens and was fully executed after rigorous planning and meticulous testing of safety protocols.
The female dressed in a crew member’s uniform is actually a skydiving instructor who was cast to ensure highest levels of safety as she had to stand on a reduced circumference space of only 1.2 metres, Emirates said.
The ad opens with a close-up shot of the cabin crew member flipping message boards. After a few seconds, the camera pans out and the woman is seen standing atop the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
Watch the ad here:
The skydiving instructor is one of the few individuals who have had the privilege of standing on top of the world’s tallest building. Apart from her, Tom Cruise and Crown Prince of Dubai, HH Shiekh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum had the opportunity to stand on top of Burj Khalifa.
