SWISS Recraft Collection Airbus 321 HB-IOC Key Ring, Black/silver

Item number: 1771403

With this eye-catching key ring, you'll always carry a little piece of aviation history with you. Its hook was made from the original outer aircraft skin of the legendary SWISS Airbus 321 with the registration HB-IOC, and it is still coated with some of the aeroplane's original paint. After 27 years in service with Swissair and SWISS, the Airbus made its final landing in Zurich in 2022. The aeroplane has been transformed into the starting point for the SWISS Recraft Collection, which is the first SWISS aircraft upcycling project. This key ring can be easily attached to clothing, luggage or a key rack.

HB-IOC: the iconic Airbus 321

The registration "IOC" originally referred to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and for a year it was decorated with the Olympic rings. The Airbus 321 also bore the name of the city of Lausanne, where the IOC has its headquarters. Later, the aeroplane was renamed after St. Moritz, henceforth carrying the charm of this alpine resort throughout Europe. During its 27 years in regular service, the Airbus 321 transported over seven million guests and completed some 47,000 take-offs and landings. With over 73,000 flying hours and a total flight distance equivalent to 1,315 round-the-world trips or 137 voyages to the moon, every Upcycling product from this aircraft comes with an impressive history.
