Emirates ad on top of Burj Khalifa goes viral; airline shows how it was shot

An advertisement by Dubai-based airlines Emirates has caught the eye of social media users. The video ad shows a woman dressed as Emirates’ flight attendant shuffling placards with different messages about the services of the airline. After the last placard, the camera zooms out and she is seen standing on top of 828-metre-high Burj Khalifa.

And this is no ordinary feat, considering that the flight attendant is standing on a very narrow platform, all alone with wind howling past her. She maintains her smile all along in the video.

So, Emirates has now released a behind the scene video to demonstrate that the ad was indeed shot on the world’s tallest building.
