Own a piece of aviation history: Icelandair’s iconic Northern Lights plane turned into keychains.
Icelandair’s Hekla Aurora, a Boeing 757-200, was retired in October last year having delighted plane spotters with its stunning livery since 2014.
Now, Icelandair has teamed up with Aviationtag to take the aircraft skin and transform it into a limited edition series of keychains.

After not flying for over 3 weeks, IcelandAir's Hekla Aurora Boeing 757-200 was flown to a boneyard at Lleida–Alguaire Airport #LEDA in Spain. Game over. That was probably its last flight unless a buyer gets it before the scrappers do. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/TFFIU/history/20251106/0914Z/BIKF/L%2041.65448%200.64064 #HeklaAurora #TFFIU #aviation #travel #avgeek

"Retirement Flight of Hekla Aurora" video by Extreme Aviation Iceland / Snorri Jónsson on YouTube - approach and landing of IcelandAir's #HeklaAurora #TFFIU Boeing 757-200 at Reykjavik's downtown airport #RKV / #BIRK at the conclusion of its farewell sightseeing tour on Sun Oct 12, 2025. I monitored the landing remotely via ADS-B - but this video is nice to see how it really looked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_5piTUqQXM #aviation #travel #avgeek

It looks like the sold-out "farewell tour" of #HeklaAurora #TFFIU must have been thoroughly enjoyed by its passengers. They went around the Westfjords, along the north coast, a low pass over Egilsstaðir Airport EGS and across the glacier-covered center of the island back to the downtown Reykjavik Airport (which doesn't usually see 757s). Wish I was there... https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/TFFIU/history/20251012/1216Z/BIRK #aviation #travel #avgeek
