Air Serbia’s retired ATR turned into collectable

NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia and the Aviationtag company have released a limited-edition tag made out of the fuselage of the airline’s retired ATR72-212 aircraft, registered YU-ALT. To mark the carrier’s tenth anniversary under its current brand name, Air Serbia and Aviationtag are selling the momento made out of the 25-year-old turboprop, through the Aviationtag website and soon at the airline’s retail stores in Belgrade and its Premium Lounge at Belgrade Airport. “Today, YU-ALT is reborn as Aviationtags, upcycled with precision for authenticity. Each Aviationtag is a piece of aviation history, from luggage to keychains or collector's displays”, the company said. Air Serbia marks its tenth anniversary since taking flight under its current name this Thursday.

      This is not their ATR, this was a dry-leased one, right? JU's own ATRs were 30+ years old.

    Does anyone know the difference between these tags? I noticed on their website that they have four different types with different prices, but I don't know if there's any difference other than colour?

      It is just, that the coloured ones are more exclusive and therefore more expensive.

      A pity, if you prefer, but i mean that it is very expensive for what it is.

    Just imagine what the B733 would have done as it was the first in Europe to be operated by JAT. They dropped the ball completely on the B733 farewell while it could have earned them a significant marketing trick.

      True, and couldn't be more true. But in that case, they would admit that aviation in Serbia and YU existed before 2013 and that 733 was part of the Air Serbia fleet.

      They as in Air Serbia? Only zerobrains would say something like that. Air Serbia never denied being continuation of Aeroput/Jat legacy. In fact Elevate magazine published numerous articles celebrating Aviolet/Jat history.

    Air Serbia’s retired ATR turned into collectable

    To be precise, it’s being turned into “collectible”.

    When last 737s were trashed to pieces behind the Jat hangar I suggested keeping some material for tags. Too bad we could not get 737 tags but this will do.

      Hopefully, YU-AND will not end like this ATR, but as I heard it's not in good condition

    That other color pieces, that more expensive ones, are already sold out. Too fast, lol.

    Would be nice to have some JAT and and Jat Airways B733 pieces.

      I'm hoping they keep a good portion of the color pieces in their Belgrade store or lounge for my next trip there.

    Hopefully when Air Serbia has its own loyalty program these types of tags could be given when reaching a certain status. Or in the farther future if Air Serbia releases a credit card, have it be made of an aircraft just as Delta did with their 747.
