I'm surprised that they haven't changed the name back to Yeadon yet, As Leeds & Bradford have nothing to do with the running of the Airport, Since the council's cashed intheir shares.

Unlikely given 1-June is just two days hence.. I'm reliably informed the press article in Pakistan which referred to this was hastily withdrawn soon after publication yesterday.

Newscaster normally seems right about such things. I wonder if s/he has mis-typed the date, as PIA seem to be having a general overhaul of their UK flights including rerouting two of their New York flights away from MAN and via Dubai instead.
Actually just checked PIA website: no mention (as yet) of Bradford (or Leeds), but all PK701/2 flights seem to have gone from MAN by late July, leaving just one flight a week.

sharm el sheikh is only operating for 3 months at the moment tho, but guess end of april is the end of the winter season so will have to wait and see if it continues into summer. anyone heard if there are developments on the terminal extensions/general infrastructure plans? really hope some plans are announced for the winter, lba is struggling with the throughput this summer

PIA
A reliable source gives Wed and Sat from sometime July but no a/c type given.
This has been backed up by another relaible source on another site giving the same from early July with A310.
Looks promising.

'public Transport'
Sorry to intrude on Islamabrad but does anyone know why the 'public transport' from LBA is actually a one taxi firm monopoly supported, literally, by a bad bus service ? e.g. had to wait over an hour on Monday afternoon for a 757 (bus no.) to main city

I agree about the bus service, When we got back from Prague last year we had to wait almost a hour for a bus, get your finger out metro/first one bus and hour at peak time.
