AVIATIONTAG Airbus A380 - A6-APA Glare - Grey (Etihad Airways)

Aviationtag have been taking original airplane parts off from what were once real-life airliners and turning them into premium, one-of-a-kind designer and collector’s items since as far back as 2006. In 2015, Aviationtag had the idea of making the world a little bit better by upcycling scrapped airplanes into special 'Aviationtags'. Alongside commercial planes like the Boeing 747 or the Airbus A340, they have also given historical aircraft like the DC-3 “candy bomber” a second life as an Aviationtag.

The Aviationtags themselves are 100% authentic original airplane skin. The origin of the material can be traced back seamlessly all the way to when the plane was first sold for scrap.

The Aviationtag × Etihad Airbus A380 GLARE Edition represents the next step in the history of this extraordinary aircraft.

Made from original GLARE material from Etihad's first Airbus A380, A6-APA, this edition highlights one of the most advanced materials in civil aviation. GLARE — a glass fiber reinforced aluminum laminate — is significantly thicker than traditional aircraft skin. The visible layer edges make the complex structure immediately recognizable.

Due to the special material thickness of GLARE, some tags in this edition are noticeably thicker than classic aluminum Aviationtags. In these cases, the standard Aviationtag protective sleeve no longer fits, emphasizing the uncompromising materiality of this edition.

From superjumbo to handy keepsake — real aviation history, reinterpreted.

Note: Every tag is unique. Depending on the plane, tags may vary in haptics, thickness of material and colour. Small irregularities tell of a plane’s long history and convey the feeling of its glory days above the clouds.

Dimensions: 35 x 88mm.
