In Amsterdam you can pay for that service. Schiphol vip centre. Special lounge, they bring you by car to the plane.

It is in DXB, F class check in, the agent called to a person from Emirates and i heard the agent say to the customer she will called to RED carpet, when i finished check in i saw the pax be scouted by a employee of EK

Possibly a high profile GCC national who had this service arranged for himself.

Various reasons why you can get a VIP marker on your BP - corporate contract, paid for, important EK commercial or political contact.

They rank lower than iOs on the food chain.

I'd not seen that before. €300 per flight - not too bad, but I don't think I'll be using it. Privium is good enough for me :)

Such a service exists at most airports. For your example, Dubai offers this as well. They take you from the plane by car to a special terminal with no waiting at all and you are off.
If everything works well you can make it from AMS to DXB without seeing anyone else besides flight attendants :)

Accompanied a VIP - gov, few years ago, we were escorted all the way to the BNE lounge where we were given the area closest to the gate within the lounge. Offered to serve food and drinks. When it was time we were called to board ahead of the announcement. While on the plane the ground staff followed through with a handover. And upon landing we were also met by an EK staff until we reached immigration - where we asked the chap to go away :D .

My driver in LHR , told me the UAE royals come in and pay for the VIP treatment at LHR which is £7000 and includes everything from gate pick up and quick immigration. He said they are not important enough to get the private jets , but rather get the EK F treatment ( hard life) , he also added that they are incredibly rude ....

Garuda provide the Amsterdam VIP lounge for all paying first class , I used it a month ago , to be honest it's good and actually just like any other lounge although quiet , the novelty part are the immigration staff coming to see you in the lounge the car transfer but would I pay ? No
