| Jennifer's 2015 Emirates Airlines commercial |
Recently Delta airlines has hit out at Jennifer for appearing in an Emirates advertisement as it allegedly accuses Middle Eastern airlines of supposedly "trying to take over international commercial aviation." Delta has criticized the actress for appearing in a 2015 Emirates ad. The commercial took aim at the airline's competitors, in this case Delta, showing Aniston in the 'nightmare' scenario of being aboard a non-Emirates flight.

Since becoming the face of Emirates airlines in 2015, Jennifer has appeared in a number of advertisement for Dubai-based airline Emirates in recent years. The most contentious, released in October of 2015, took aim at the luxury airline's competitor's showing Aniston finding herself in the 'nightmare' scenario of being aboard a non-Emirates flight without luxuries like a shower or bar and lounge.

In a new, staff education video provided by competitor airline Delta, an in-flight service crew member identified as Meleia J. released the following statement calling the ad, 'hurful,' adding, "I've always like Jennifer Aniston," she said, "but when I saw that ad, [it was] VERY hurtful to see that." Another crew member who remained unidentified released a statement of their own adding, "For her [Jennifer Aniston] to be sending that message inside the United States, it hits me right here as a Delta employee."

Emirates airlines came under fire shortly after the commercial was released back in 2015, after they were accused of created what most called, 'the snobbiest ad ever'. The ad shows staff aboard the imaginary American carrier laughing as well as mocking Jennifer who is confused why the airline does not have all the luxuries of Emirates. When Jennifer asks, "Why is her no on board shower or bar and lounge," the crew reply, "This isn't an Emirates plane."

Suddenly in the ad Jennifer awakes from the 'nightmare' in her first class bed pod on her dream Emirates A380 flight. Jennifer, who has reportedly been paid $15-million for the ad, was not reached for a comment on the controversy at the time of the ads release in 2015, but has come under fire again for her appearance in the ad tat supports the Middle Eastern airline. Delta is on the offensive against Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airlines, over claims the Middle Eastern airlines are being unfairly propped up by their oil-rich governments. "There's a battle being fought for our skies and most people don't event realize it," said the narrator of a Delta Airlines video, released in late June of 2017. "The Gulf Carriers have reportedly destroyed competition in countries worldwide, and now they are targeting the United States with lavish sponsorship and slick advertising," narrates the video. They go on to say the airlines are using the 'immense wealth of their countries by illegally pouring billions of government dollars into luxurious new aircraft, selling cheap seats and unfairly crushing competition. The video was created to educate Delta employees about their rivals practices and features employees, executives, and experts in trade, economics and aviation. The airline has been widely mocked after the video was shared online with many viewers accusing Delta of, "simply being bitter they can't compete with the luxury of its rivals."
