Goldgenie's latest luxury innovation is a gold-plated model airplane. While the toy models are quite the popular collector's item, no model is as lush as this.

Based in the UK, Goldgenie is a company that specializes in the opulent customization of household items. The latest customization to bare the Goldgenie name is the 24 carat gold 'Aviators Dream' model airplane. This model is a replica of a [Boeing 777](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emirates-4) plane though it does not display any doors, windows or other realistic parts. However, Goldgenie does offer to brand the plane with emblems of top airlines such as [Qatar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qatar-airways-2), [British Airways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectible-amenity-kits), Goldgenie Air or a logo of the consumer's choice.

Airplane collectors can purchase the 'Avaitors Dream' on the Goldgenie website.
