1 ~~~ The world's first Airbus A380 superjumbo is being broken up for parts, made into luggage tags ~~~
The first Airbus A380 superjumbo to enter commercial service,
a plane meant to revolutionise air travel and now being broken up for spare parts,
is returning to the skies in an altogether more diminutive form: luggage tags.
The limited-edition collectors' items crafted from the aluminum skin of the world's biggest commercial airliner
are on sale for 27.95 euros ($45.80) each through specialist retailer Aviationtag.
An update from the retailer said the tags had sold out in just 48 hours,
but that another decommissioned A380 would also be cut up for tags soon.
