A fearless 'airline stewardess' who went viral when she stood atop the world's tallest building in an Emirates airlines advertisement last year has repeated the feat - but this time with even higher stakes.
Skydiver and social media star Nicole Smith-Ludvik once again donned her Emirates uniform and clambered to the top of the 2,722ft tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai last week.
Holding a series of Love Actually-inspired placards, Nicole joked: 'I'm still here!', before displaying the words 'finally, here come my friends'.
Moments later, a humungous Emirates A380 Airbus - the largest passenger plane in the world - screamed past the smiling stuntwoman, seemingly mere metres away from the top of the tower.
The advert, in which the A380 plane glided past the stranded stewardess at incredibly low speed, was Emirates airlines latest promotion encouraging viewers to 'fly the iconic Emirates A380 to the world's greatest show' in reference to the Dubai Expo 2020.
The airline released a second video on YouTube shortly after the advert was published and seen by millions to explain just how they managed to pull off such a daring stunt.

Pilots could be seen waving from the cockpit of the plane as it breezed pass around half a mile away from the tower
The stunt was in aid of the Dubai Expo 2020 - a world Expo running from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022 - in which 192 countries are displaying a host of cultural offerings along with their most innovative technologies.
The Emirates airbus was emblazoned with a colourful livery promoting the expo as Nicole invited viewers to visit the event and to fly Emirates along the way.
There was much speculation over how the airline was able to co-ordinate such a stunt which clearly contained a high level of risk for both the pilots and stuntwoman.
The airline released an explainer video in which it revealed that the plane in fact was flying roughly half a mile away from the tower, but looked to be incredibly close to Nicole standing at the top thanks to some clever camera
