(RTTNews) - American Express (AXP) and Delta Air Lines (DAL) announced Thursday the launch of the first-ever credit card design made with the metal from a retired Delta Boeing 747 aircraft. The limited-edition card design is available exclusively for Delta SkyMiles Reserve and Reserve Business Card Members from June 16 through August 3, 2022.

The card comes with exclusive content via an augmented reality experience created especially for Card Members, which includes Boeing 747 history, interviews with Delta pilots and crew members, and an up-close look at Delta Ship #6307's transformation from a passenger plane into the card design.

The limited-edition card design was created with 25% metal from Delta Ship #6307, a retired Boeing 747-400, as a way to honor the history of aviation travel. Known as the "Queen of the Skies," the iconic Boeing 747 was the first wide body jet and led to many significant advancements in air travel.
