Residents and holiday makers on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, were treated to a spectacular ultra low fly-past by an Etihad Airways aircraft yesterday.
The aircraft, an Airbus A340-600, was taking part in promotional filming and photography for the Abu Dhabi-based airline, flying at 300 ft.
Dozens of on-lookers were thrilled at the rare sight of the wide-body aircraft flying across the pristine coast line of Saadiyat Island.
Giorgio Evangelisti, Etihad Airways’ chief A330 and A340 pilot, captained the flight. He said: “It was a real privilege to take command for this unprecedented flight.
“I have operated aircraft fly-pasts before, at the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but this occasion we flew much lower and I will treasure the memories forever.”
