United is under fire over a viral incident in which airport police violently manhandled and dragged a paying passenger from one of the company’s flights.

Emirate Airlines, which TripAdvisor named the best airline in the world this week, released a 30-second ad that culminated with the message, “Fly the friendly skies… this time for real” — a jab at United’s famous slogan.
