Emirates plane crash video is fake, airline says
05.01.2025 - 02:47 / insider.com / Adnan Kazim
Emirates has called out social media platforms for not acting quicker to remove a video showing a fake plane crash.
The video, which appears to be computer-generated, shows a fake Emirates plane crash in Abu Dhabi.
In a statement posted on X, Emirates said: "We are aware of a video circulating on social media depicting an Emirates plane crash. Emirates confirms it is fabricated content and untrue."
The airline said it was in contact with "various social media platforms" in an effort to get the video taken down or "make clear that it is digitally created footage to avoid false and alarming information from circulating."
"Unfortunately the platforms' responses to such content review requests are not quick enough, therefore necessitating this statement," it continued.
Emirates also urged people to check and refer to official sources.
The video was still available to view on some platforms at the time of writing.
Business Insider has contacted Emirates for comment.
It comes as the airline announced its first Airbus A350 aircraft had officially entered commercial service, operating a flight from Dubai to Edinburgh.
Adnan Kazim, the airline's deputy president and chief commercial officer, said the flight marked a "pivotal" moment for the company and that it underscored "the strategic importance of the UK within our global network."
The aircraft is the first of 65 A350s Emirates has ordered from Airbus.
