In September 1973, Fokker conducted a promotional tour to Brazil, where they  took the opportunity to show case the Fokker F-28 Fellowship.

The Fokker F-28 Mk.1000 Fellowship PH-ZAV (cn.11032) landed in Brazil on September 11, 1973. Three days later, on September 14, it participated in an air show in the city of São Paulo. Between September 14 and 23, 1973, the first international aerospace show was held at São José dos Campos International Airport in the São Paulo metropolitan area, located 90 kilometers from São Paulo.

Finally, on September 24, 1973, the PH-ZAV performed demonstration flights for VARIG, VASP, and the Brazilian Civil Aviation Directorate.

 Today, the only safety card currently in use in the world is with LADE.

Safety cards are leaflets that graphically detail, with multilingual instructions, the use of seat belts, oxygen masks, and life vests. Additionally, they describe the rapid evacuation procedure of an aircraft and the exact location of the emergency exits. These safety cards are normally located in the seatback pocket of the seat ahead.

Some cards constitute true works of art crafted with a wealth of detail, while others are simpler. Some of them were carefully designed respecting the airlines' corporate identity—enhancing concepts such as "elegance"—or, in other cases, matching the colorful design of the aircraft interiors or its exterior livery.

The Fokker F-28 Fellowship was no exception, and we can find excellent safety cards, which we will detail below.

On October 30, 1975, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and her husband, Prince Consort Henrik, visited the Fokker factory facilities during a state visit to the Netherlands. They were accompanied by Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld (husband of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands).

They toured the F-28 Fellowship production line, where they were able to observe several aircraft under construction, including a Fokker F-28 Mk.1000C for Air Gabon, cn.11102 (TR-LTS) and the rear section of the “A105”, future F-28 Mk.1000 cn.11105 for Garuda Indonesia Airways (PK-GVV).

At the time, this state visit did not spark any interest from Danish airlines. By 1975, Maersk Air was operating Fokker F-27s—what would have happened if they had decided to replace them with the Fokker F-28 Fellowship?

Four years later, in 1979, Cimber Air purchased two F-28 Mk.3000s.
