EVA Air has begun selling airline tags made from a retired EVA 747 aircraft in association with German company Aviationtag.
A licensing partnership was formed between the plane’s original owners and Aviationtag following a successful bid from the latter to acquire a part of the retired aircraft. The tags are made from the outer skin of a Boeing 747-400 wide body airliner retired from EVA Air’s fleet in August 2017.
Although Aviationtag made 15,000 aircraft skin tags from the aircraft part it acquired, only 2,000 are available in Taiwan.
Every tag comes with a serial number and retains the original paintjob of the aircraft skin along with marks from wear and tear over years of active service, an EVA Air spokesperson said.
The tags come in the colours of EVA Air’s logo – white, green and orange, with orange being the rarest as it covers the smallest surface area of the aircraft.
