Stockholm was the initial destination to which the first of two new jets type Bombardier CRJ700 of Eurowings took off. The plane, which had been taken over from the Danish Maersk with the new identification D-ACSB was registered in Germany on November 5, 2007 and started regular service one day later. There the jet had been awaited eagerly: The 70-seater had been integrated in the winter flight schedule.

As registration was delayed by a few days, the programme intended for the CRJ700 had initially to be run with the BAe spare plane. All challenges which flight schedulers had had to face the days before were forgotten when the latest addition to the Eurowings fleet took off in the capital of North Rhine Westphalia in time for its first „live flights“ under flight numbers LH3028 and LH3029 between Düsseldorf and Stockholm.

Among the first flight passenger were: Antonietta De Marco, Ralph Schweinsberg, Ulschinar Sattar and Gregor Eckert. The second CRJ700 jet is expected this year and will also operate from Düsseldorf.
