OY-MRG delivered to Cimber Sterling

Cimber Sterling has taken delivery of B737-7L9 registered OY-MRG. The aircraft, msn 28010 was built in 1999 and delivered to Maersk as OY-MRG and subsequently transferred to the new Sterling Airlines when Sterling European and Maersk merged in 2005.  
Sterling Airlines folded in October 2008 and in December last, Cimber announced that it had purchased the Sterling name and slots with the intention of relaunching the airline as a separate business.  OY-MRG was ferried to Shannon on March 18 this year and was painted in the Cimber Sterling retro scheme at the Lufthansa paint hangar. Pictured above, OY-MRG is seen parked on taxiway 7 last Saturday morning. The aircraft was flown Shannon - Copenhagen this morning using the registration as flight number.
