This feat ultimately paid off, making Emirates Airlines as the only company to produce one of the highest and perilous ads ever.

Professional UK skydiver Nicole Smith-Ludvik, the main star of the ad, thanked the company for the amazing opportunity in an Instagram post.

This is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing and exciting stunts I’ve ever done.”

Nicole is also the third individual to stand on top of the world’s tallest building aside from Tom Cruise and the Crown Prince of Dubai, H.H. Shiekh Hamdan Mohammed Rashid Al Maktoum.

Hats off to Nicole and Emirates Airlines for pulling off this jaw-dropping ad!
