Skydive Dubai recently collaborated with Dubai Shopping Festival on a BASE jump performed from a powered airship. A female skydiver suspended 1,000 feet above Dubai completed the jump onto Kite Beach.
The skydiver spent six hours beneath the airship, travelling routes that included six kilometres over water. The longest stretch covered 14 kilometres from Nad Al Sheba to Kite Beach. She travelled past landmarks on a wooden swing built for the project.
The Skydive Dubai operation includes Inflight Dubai, an indoor skydiving facility in the region where flyers and athletes practice body-flight skills.
