A company that turns decommissioned aircraft into keepsakes is offering aviation enthusiasts their own piece of a Lufthansa Airbus A380.
Aviationtag is selling white aluminum tags made from D-AIMI, which was nicknamed “Berlin” while in service. The aircraft was operated by Lufthansa between 2012 and 2021.
Officials noted that D-AIMI was taken out of service during the COVID-19 pandemic at a relatively young age for a long-haul widebody aircraft.
“This edition is for everyone who didn’t just see the A380, but felt it: the boarding moment, the calm inside that vast fuselage, the unique tension right before pushback,” Aviationtag said in a statement. “Every tag is one of a kind – marked by the subtle traces that make aircraft material genuinely authentic. In your hand is aluminum from D-AIMI: material that’s been out there, lived through wind and weather, and now gets a second life as a tag – whether you keep it as a collectible, clip it to your keys, or carry it as a small everyday memory anchor.”
The company has made tags out of A380s in the past. Airbus stopped production of the jet in 2021.
On its website, Aviationtag sells pieces made from a wide variety of commercial, military, and general aviation aircraft. Among the carriers and air forces it sources from are DHL Express, Emirates, Korean Air, the Royal Air Force, and the U.S. Air Force.
