Now, you can own a piece of the iconic Icelandair Northern Lights plane, the Boeing 757-200. It’s now available as limited-edition keyrings and luggage tags.

Icelandair retired Hekla Aurora in October last year, after delighting plane spotters with its stunning livery since 2014. Icelandair partnered with Aviationtag, a German company that dismantles retired aircraft and turns them into souvenirs.

A team of specialist artists designed the livery, using intricate airbrushing to reproduce the Northern Lights as realistically as possible, blending shades of green, turquoise, blue, and deep midnight across the fuselage.

“Last year, we farewelled a beloved member of our fleet: Hekla Aurora, the Boeing 757 painted in the colors of the Northern Lights. Saying goodbye to such a beauty wasn’t easy, so we collaborated with Aviationtag to preserve the aircraft’s livery,” wrote Icelandair.

“An aircraft like Hekla Aurora doesn’t come along every day. Its livery, history, and the connection people feel to it are simply extraordinary,” said Tobias Richter, co-founder of Aviationtag.

Keychains start at €39.95. The team at Aviationtag says the design, which features a mix of blues, greens, and blacks, means “no two pieces look exactly alike.”

Serious collectors can buy sets of nine or 14 for €409.35 and €634.30, respectively.

The project is part of a broader trend among airlines to repurpose retired aircraft components. Air France has used aircraft interior materials to produce accessories, and Lufthansa Group airlines sell a range of products made from recycled aircraft parts, including coasters, cufflinks, furniture, and decorative items.
