Emirates Airlines celebrated Christmas by dressing up a plane in a Santa hat and attaching it to a reindeer. In a short video shared by the airline on Instagram, the plane was seen being lifted off the ground like a sleigh being pulled up by reindeer.
The national airline of the UAE is celebrating the festival in a symbolic fashion as well because reindeer are associated with safe travel and endurance.
The Instagram caption read: "Captain Claus, requesting permission to take off. Merry Christmas from Emirates."
The video was created by digital artist Mostafa Eldiasty. The clip has gone viral on social media and already has over 400K likes. He is known to create out-of-the-box content for brands and has already worked with Emirates before. Last month, he made an aircraft look like a playful bird. That video also went viral and was shared by the Crown Prince of Dubai.
