Emirates appears to have repeated an advertising stunt undertaken in late 2021. Once again, the Dubai-based carrier filmed a stunt actor standing on top of the Burj Khalifa. However, this time she has the company of her “friends”, an Airbus A380 wearing the “marmite” Expo 2020 livery. //

After the stunt-woman is seen at the top of the world’s tallest building, she holds a card saying, “Finally, here come my friends”. The shot then turns to show one of Emirates’ Airbus A380s flying towards the tower before it passes behind our fearless main character with an impressive bank angle. //

It would appear that the advert was filmed on October 13th and 14th (the original advert aired in August 2021 before the first Expo livery was even applied to an aircraft). Ahead of these days, Emirates issued an advisory that it would be flying the Expo liveried jet low over the city of Dubai to promote the Expo 2020 festival.
