British Airways Partners Globe-Trotter for 150 Handmade BOAC Speedbird Suitcases
(14 Jan 2021) To mark the retirement of its Boeing 747 fleet, British Airways has partnered with Globe-Trotter to create a limited-edition range of carry-on suitcases which celebrate the spirit of the jumbo jet age.
Taking inspiration from the airline’s BOAC livery, which also adorned the final British Airways aircraft to retire in December 2020, the BOAC Speedbird suitcases have been handmade in England and incorporate the iconic ‘Gold Speedbird’ insignia and a fragment from a retired British Airways 747 aircraft.
To officially launch the range, two of the suitcases are being auctioned via online auction platform
