Aviationtag launches limited edition of the last Jet2 Boeing 757

Aviationtag is pleased to present its latest upcycled collector’s edition: a limited-edition tag crafted from the skin of the legendary Jet2 Boeing 757-200 G-LSAI. Originally delivered in 1987 and retired in early 2025, this unique aircraft logged over 80,000 flight hours and more than 40,000 landings during its nearly 38-year career.

G-LSAI became particularly well-known for its final scheduled flight of a Boeing 757 in UK passenger service—a historic moment for aviation. The aircraft was part of the Jet2 fleet from 2006 until its retirement and is now being given a second lease of life through Aviationtag’s signature upcycling.

Each tag in the Aviationtag x Jet2 Edition is crafted from the aircraft’s original skin, preserving its silver-grey Jet2 finish before disassembly. As with all Aviationtags, each piece is unique, engraved with the aircraft’s registration number, and produced in a strictly limited edition.

From the runway to your pocket – Jet2’s legendary 757 becomes a piece of aviation history

“We are delighted to continue our successful partnership with Jet2,” says Tobias Richter, Chief Commercial Officer at Aviationtag. “It’s an honor for us to preserve and share the history of such a significant aircraft. The G-LSAI holds a special place in the hearts of many aviation enthusiasts – and now its story can live on in people’s hands.”

The Aviationtag x Jet2 Edition is now available exclusively at www.aviationtag.com – sales start Monday, July 28, at 10:00 a.m. (CEST). Due to high demand and limited quantities, early arrival is recommended.

Background: The history of the Boeing 757 G-LSAI

The Boeing 757-200, registered G-LSAI, was first delivered in 1987 and began its career with British Airways. It served numerous airlines for several decades before joining the fleet of Jet2, a renowned British charter and low-cost airline, in 2006.

During its nearly four decades of service, the aircraft has served numerous routes across Europe, consistently demonstrating reliability and efficiency, and accompanying many generations of pilots, crew, and passengers. Of particular note is its final scheduled flight, which earned it historic status as one of the last Boeing 757s in regular passenger service in the UK.

With a total of over 80,000 flight hours and more than 40,000 landings, it is a prime example of the longevity of this type within commercial aviation.

What does Aviationtag do?

Aviationtag transforms discarded parts of former commercial aircraft into unique collectibles – so-called tags – that appeal to both design lovers and aviation enthusiasts.

These tags are made from original aluminum or other components from former aircraft; markings such as flight numbers and paintwork are retained, allowing each product to tell its own story.

Since the project was founded, thousands of customers worldwide have collected or given these authentic pieces as gifts – as a memento of special trips or as a tribute to the fascination of aviation.

Cooperation with Jet2: A success story

The collaboration between Aviationtag and Jet2 is based on shared values such as sustainability, innovation and passion for aviation.

Tobias Richter explains: “Our close partnership not only enables us to produce high-quality products, but also to keep memories alive.”

Through this exclusive cooperation, every interested party can be sure that the product they purchase is not only of high quality but also has a real connection to the history of this special machine.

Technical details & limitations

Each Aviationtag tag from this series measures approximately the size of a large key chain for everyday use and is engraved with the original registration number “G-LSAI” and serial number.

Production is strictly limited to just a few hundred pieces worldwide to guarantee exclusivity. Thus, buyers not only secure a unique collector’s item but also a valuable object with increasing potential over time.
The material used comes exclusively from well-preserved original parts of this special jet, preserving patina and color to ensure maximum authenticity.
