Who is the greater football legend – Pelé or Cristiano Ronaldo? The discussion, central to Emirates’s new publicity push, has two new onboard lounges to spill into after it received a double A380 delivery.

The airline’s 46th and 47th A380 aircraft arrived in Dubai on the same day it released a video and online campaign featuring a light-hearted moment between its global ambassadors Pelé and Ronaldo in the upstairs onboard lounge of an Emirates’ A380.

The video, which shows a little banter between the soccer superstars, can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFbryriZ3is&feature=youtu.be .

The two A380s – coded EEU and EET – are already in service, having completed their first flights on Emirates’ Bangkok and Melbourne routes respectively.

Emirates operates daily scheduled flights from Malta to Dubai.
