Proximity Flying Between Skyscrapers for a Brand Built on Speed


ree

When Korea Telecom (KT) set out to showcase the ultra-fast capabilities of its new 5G network, it didn’t rely on animation or green screen. It chose reality. The campaign featured real skydivers proximity flying between the skyscrapers of Dubai Marina, captured in a single breathtaking descent—combining speed, skill, and high-altitude choreography.

Prime Consultants AMG was brought on board to plan and supervise the entire stunt operation, ensuring both spectacle and safety at every level.


The Concept - Proving 5G Speed Through Human Flight

The idea was bold: demonstrate KT’s 5G performance by mirroring its speed and agility through one of the world’s most dangerous aerial disciplines—proximity flying. Skydivers launched from a helicopter, descended rapidly between the iconic towers of Dubai Marina, and executed precise maneuvers in a narrow urban corridor.


Our Role - Aerial Safety, Choreography - Risk Control

As lead stunt consultants and safety coordinators, Prime Consultants AMG managed:

  • Flight Path & Safety PlanningDesigned detailed descent trajectories between high-rise buildings, accounting for wind tunnels, urban thermals, and potential deviation margins.

  • Proximity Flying Risk ManagementAssessed proximity distances from structures, executed rehearsals with tracking software, and supervised all jumpers with real-time safety protocols.

  • Skydiver & Aerial CoordinationSelected and trained a specialized team of world-class wingsuit flyers and camera operators experienced in urban proximity work.

  • Aviation & Airspace LogisticsCoordinated helicopter drops, secured regulated airspace in a high-density zone, and liaised with Dubai Civil Aviation and local authorities.

  • Visual Direction & Cinematic IntegrationWorked with the creative agency and brand team to ensure that the stunt aligned with KT’s campaign vision and brand identity—captured in dynamic 5G-branded visuals mid-flight.





Flying Between Icons

The Dubai Marina skyline is instantly recognizable—but flying between its towers is no small feat. This operation required pinpoint accuracy, total environmental awareness, and a flawless blend of performance and control. With buildings only meters apart, every movement was calculated. Every risk, managed.

“This wasn't just a stunt. It was a live demonstration of trust—between athletes, planners, pilots, and a city skyline. The margin for error was zero. That’s why we were there.”— Alan Gayton, Stunts & Safety Director, Prime Consultants AMG
