UAE-based airlines Emirates recently released an ad filmed on top of the world's tallest building, and it instantly created a huge buzz on social media. The 30-second ad features Nicole Smith-Ludvik, a professional skydiving instructor, as an Emirates cabin crew member who stands atop the Burj Khalifa. In her hand, she holds a series of placards that read: "Moving the UAE to the UK Amber list has made us feel on top of the world. Fly Emirates. Fly better."
