Some sequences of the film „Death of a Chinese“ with Superintendent Charlotte Sänger alias Andrea Sawatzki, which will probably be screened by Hessischer Rundfunk in Autumn this year, were shot by a 40-member team onboard a Eurowings plane: After intensive talks with the Corporate Management, Operations Control, Technology and Security, the go-ahead for the elaborate shooting onboard during about three-and-a-half hours at Frankfurt Airport came.

The team set up three powerful spotlights for proper lighting outside the plane. The film was shot in the Business Class. The actors, among them also Willy Brandt’s son, Matthias Brandt, were groomed and styled a last time on board before the first take: In the Tatort scene, an Asian cabin attendant approaches to suspects among the passengers and asks them their names. Then she asks them to follow her. The probable culprit is among them.

The session was completed in two hours. Eurowings employees were not seen in the scene, and all passengers were extras.
