SKU: 13111
by AVIATIONTAG
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.
Airbus A340-600: The A340-600 is 12 m longer than an A340 -300, more than 4 m longer than the Boeing 747-400 and even 2.3 m longer than the A380. It held the record for the world’s longest commercial aircraft until the first flight of the Boeing 747-8 in February 2010. The maximum take off weight is 360 tons including a cargo volume of up to 201.7 cubic meters.
Aviationtag has been a proud partner to Lufthansa and part of the hugely successful Lufthansa Upcycling Edition for many years now. Here they have created the former Airbus A340-600 D-AIHR Aviationtag.
In February 2007, the A340 with MSN 794 was delivered to the German flag carrier and after less than 10 years in Lufthansa’s service was retired again in 2016. In 2019 the D-AIHR embarked on its final journey and now continues to fly around the world as an Aviationtag on the suitcases and bags of many a traveler!
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.
