From Presidential Jet to Aviationtag – 5U-BAG
From the Sahara Desert to Heathrow: This Boeing 737-200 wasn’t just any aircraft – for over three decades, 5U-BAG served as the official state jet of Niger. Delivered in 1978, it flew presidents, diplomats, and delegations around the world. Thanks to its gravel kit, it could even operate on remote desert airstrips.
After 36 years in service, the aircraft was retired in 2014 and stored at Lasham Airfield in the UK. Nearly a decade later, in 2023, its story took a new turn when we salvaged parts of its iconic green-and-white fuselage for upcycling.
We’ve transformed this piece of aviation history into a genuine Aviationtag – crafted from original aircraft skin, each plane tag is unique and carries the marks of its journey.
Limited. One of a kind. While supplies last.

Note: Every tag is unique. Depending on the plane, tags may vary in terms of haptics, material thickness and colour. Small blemishes bear witness to the plane’s long history and are an authentic reminder of its glory days over the clouds. Small scratches, flaky paint and imperfections are totally normal and give our Aviationtags their unique charm – the charm of a vintage product crafted from upcycled materials. These quirks are not the result of the production process, they simply reflect the state of the aircraft material we use when it was extracted.
