We have been taking original airplane parts off and 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, we had the idea of making the world a little bit better by upcycling scrapped airplanes into our special Aviationtags.
Alongside commercial planes like the Boeing 747 or the Airbus A340, we have also given historical aircraft like the DC-3 “candy bomber” a second life as an Aviationtag. But this also allows us to preserve important and interesting parts of aviation history.
The Boeing 737-300 was delivered to Lufthansa in 1986 and was registered as D-ABXB from then on. In 1993, it was converted into a 737-300 QC (Quick Change): Combined with a side cargo door, passenger seats on special pallets enabled quick changes from cargo to passenger mode and vice versa. After several different stints, the plane finally went to the British carrier Jet2, where it flew up until 2016 under the registration G-CELR.
The video below gives you an impression of how the production process from aircraft to Aviationtag works.
