It was a superjumbo job fit for a superstar, and Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow jetted to Singapore this week to launch British Airways’ new A380 superjumbo aircraft between London and Singapore.
The Hollywood star dazzled onlookers at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, as she posed for a gravity-defying photo shoot, which saw her suspended on a British Airways Club World seat in the middle of the hotel’s famous infinity pool towering 650 feet above street level.
Gwyneth Paltrow, said: “Singapore has always been a top destination on my wish list, so when British Airways approached me to help launch their impressive A380 to Singapore I couldn't resist - it was a great opportunity, both fun and truly unique. The location for the shoot was stunning and I’m glad to finally have a photo of myself in the famous infinity pool. With my job I fly a lot, so it’s great that I can now travel to Singapore on the British Airways superjumbo.
“I’m a big fan of the local cuisine here, especially the chilli crab, and I’ve really enjoyed exploring the city and trying the amazing variety of food on offer. There’s still so much that I want to visit here and I look forward to returning!”
British Airways flies the Singapore – Heathrow route twice-daily. Three of the 14 weekly flights will from now be operated by the A380.
