I sent details to the airline concerned (a national carrier) and received the following -
"Unfortunately we are currently unable to respond to your request within our regular handling time due to the number of passenger messages resulting from the eruption of mount Eyjafjallajökull and the decision of the authorities to close the European airspace for a number of days".
Not very reassuring - the aircraft and route referred to in another post - MAN/CDG may well refer to the same airline alliance. I suppose the next step should be to contact the national aviation authority - hopefully they will be more safety minded.
Banffshire is in the north of Scotland but the airline is not British.
