Etihad retires Boeing 777-200s and turns them into key chains

Of goodbyes there have been many recently, especially in the home Boeing: manufacturer has just announced to deliver by the end of 2022 the last 4 Boeing 747s And to stop its production.

Now Etihad has decided to retire its Boeing 777-200LR And one of them can be purchased "in pieces."

How do you mean? Thanks to the collaboration with Aviationtag, which has been involved in aviation merchandising for years, one of Etihad's Boeing 777-200s was dismantled and cut into pieces then made into keychain and put up for sale on Aviationtag's website.

All aviation enthusiasts will now be able to buy a piece Of a historic Etihad aircraft. Each keychain is unique, in fact depending on the part where it was taken it can vary in roughness, thickness and color:

"Each tag is unique. Depending on the aircraft, tags may vary in tactile feel, material thickness, and color. Small imperfections testify to the plane's long history and are an authentic reminder of its glory days above the clouds.

Small scratches, flayed paint and imperfections are completely normal and give our Aviationtags their unique charm-the charm of a vintage product made from recycled materials."

We see the pieces on the official website of Aviationtag:

The tags can be used as key chains or be attached to the suitcases to distinguish them from the others when we pick them up at the conveyor belt at the airport and so on. They will be 15.000 tags made from the aircraft and the colors are purely white and gold, depending on the area from which they come. They will range in price from 30 to 38€.

The Boeing 777-200LR worldliner that was dismantled to become key chains from collection was delivered to Air India on August 24, 2007 and christened "Arunachal Pradesh."

After a seven-year honored career with what was then the national airline of India, the plane switched to Etihad in April 2014. With a new registration, the Boeing 777-200LR took flight until March 2018, was then parked for three years in San Bernardino, California, until there was a decision to divest it permanently and thus turn it into collectible pieces.

Etihad's 777 is the latest in a long list of aircraft that take on new life after being decommissioned; a British Airways Boeing 747 is also become a keychain.

Emirates has also dismantled its historic first A380 and has sold by the piece, with engine parts, trolleys or life jackets that have become coffee tables, armchairs, furniture items or fashion bags, respectively.
