TAROM Airbus A318 – A First for Our Anniversary
Our first Aviationtag was created in 2016. Ten years later, we’re celebrating with another first: our debut Airbus A318 edition! To mark the occasion, every tag in this edition features a special anniversary engraving on the reverse. Available exclusively with this edition, our 10-year anniversary booklet takes you back to our beginnings, shares memorable stories and offers exclusive insights behind the scenes at Aviationtag.
Following the A220, another new aircraft type joins our Aviationtag fleet. Delivered in November 2006, YR-ASA was TAROM’s first A318 and was named “Aurel Vlaicu” after the Romanian aviation pioneer. It remained with the airline for around 18 years.
As TAROM’s last active A318, it operated its final passenger flight from Iași to Bucharest on November 21, 2024. The very same aircraft had both opened and closed the airline’s A318 chapter.
After its ferry flight to Castellón, Spain, and subsequent dismantling, part of its fuselage skin is now becoming our Aviationtag anniversary edition. Affectionately known as the “Baby Bus,” the smallest member of the A320 family takes a special place in our history – and in your collection.
TAROM’s first and last active A318. Our first. Your piece of aviation history to celebrate ten years of Aviationtag.
When using as a key ring or luggage tag, we recommend using the Aviationtag protective case.
Airbus A318: The Airbus A318 is a twin-engine short- and medium-haul narrow-body airliner.
Note: Every tag is unique. Depending on the plane, tags may vary in haptics, thickness of material and colour. Small irregularities tell of a plane’s long history and convey the feeling of its glory days above the clouds.
