AVIATIONTAG Airbus A380 - A6-APA - White (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.

Much of Etihad’s modern image crystallized with A6-APA. It was the first Airbus A380 for the airline, the canvas for a new livery, and the aircraft that premiered on Abu Dhabi–London. The jet became a symbol of how Etihad combined architecture on the outside with hospitality inside, turning the superjumbo into a brand ambassador seen around the world.

After retirement, A6-APA completed end-of-life processing in Tarbes. Aviationtag selected original metal from the upper fuselage and under-tail areas, transforming it in Cologne into the Aviationtag × Etihad aviation tag—authentic upcycled aircraft material, uniquely textured and limited by nature. Add an aircraft tag that preserves a true slice of Etihad’s A380 legacy.

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.
