We hope Emirates airline pilots have a better sense of direction than the airline’s ad agency.
An ad in Italy for the Dubai-based luxury carrier’s route from Milan to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport features a picture of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.
“One can only assume the airline meant to include an image of the distinctive Brooklyn Bridge,” chuckled our source, who tells us Italians have been poking endless fun at Emirates’ coastal confusion on Twitter.
“#epicfail . . . That’s Golden Gate,” writes one user in Italian. “Our business is not easy, but this was not difficult!”
And, “I’ll gladly come to New York, but to see that bridge you have to go to San Francisco.”
