The ad was filmed without any green screen or special effects and was the result of rigorous planning, training, testing and a strict safety protocol. At the pinnacle of the building, the main protagonist had a reduced circumference space of only 1.2 metres at 828 metres high to pull off the stunt.

1. I have seen several Instagram influencers spend months in Dubai.

The country is certainly trying to raise its profile.

2. No. Flippin'. Way.

IMHO-That lady is nutballs for standing up there!!I have a fear of heights so I can’t even imagine anyone willing to do that!

3. She's an extremely brave woman! Hats off to her.

I'm deathly afraid of heights. I work on the 25 th floor of a building in Century City, CA. The views are great but when I look down from that height I feel sick and get a funny feeling in my stomach.

Our building is next to the flight path for Santa Monica airport. When the business jets are landing they are at the same level as our floor and it was quite disconcerting the first few times I saw one of the small jets wizzing by my office window!

6. If you look closely, you can see a rod rising up behind her...

Whatever, it ain't something I'd do, and I sure as hell would have trouble smiling while up there.

The flight attendant in the video is Nicole Smith-Ludvik. She considers herself a “world traveller, skydiver, yoga instructor, hiker, adventurer,” according to her Instagram.

A casting call was put out to Emirates’ very own cabin crew team and while there were some willing and capable candidates, a professional skydiving instructor was cast to ensure the highest levels of safety.
