The airline is getting into the holiday spirit.
The Christmas season is in full swing, and everyone is in a festive mood. The concept of Santa Claus and reindeer is deeply associated with it. The reindeer represent many positive things, including safe travel and endurance during the holiday season. Emirates Airlines, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, is also getting into the holiday mood by converting one of its passenger aircraft into Santa's sleigh.
The airline shared a short video clip on Instagram of a plane wearing a Santa hat being lifted off the ground and taken to the skies by reindeer in the most Christmas-like way.
Emirates shared the video on Instagram with a caption that reads, "Captain Claus," requesting permission to take off. "Merry Christmas from Emirates." #Emirates #FlyBetter."

Watching the video from another perspective, one user commented, "I think it's really cruel to have reindeer pull something so heavy. I can't imagine this will go down well with animal welfare."
"I love it that Santa has class A taste!" wrote a third user.
