Dubai: It's not a common sight to witness a high-powered aircraft being ushered onto the runway by a luxury supercar.
As it turns out, in the hometown of supercars, it actually is.
Emirates passengers travelling from the UAE to Bologna, often called Italy’s 'motor valley', were treated to a special sight of a Lamborghini Huracan escorting an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER as soon as the plane landed.
Bologna's Guglielmo Marconi Airport has been wowing travellers after it partnered with the manufacturer of luxury sports cars and SUVs to upgrade its 'Follow Me' vehicle that escorts planes to their gates.
Emirates’ Boeing, with a top speed of 950 kilometres per hour, is the largest aircraft flying to Bologna, while the airport’s ‘Follow Me’ car is equipped with a super-aspirated V10 engine and 610 horsepower.
In 2015, Emirates launched its daily flight to Bologna, a region that is known for its huge and well-preserved medieval historical centres and rich art, culture and commerce.
