That would be a Dornier 328JET you are seeing. The flight is operated by Sun Air of Scandinavia which is a subsidy of BA. Have a fleet of JS31, Dornier 328-110 and Dornier 8328JET aircraft.

They NOT a BA subsidiary but rather a franchise operator.
They PAY BA to fly in their colours and use the BA reservation system.
Their routes and frequencies have nothing to do with BA !

Actually though BA do have a say in what they operate. GB had a hard time at MAN when they wanted to launch ATH, FCO and TLV. BA wouldn't allow it.

Maersk had the same thing at BHX and actually had a route pulled from them when it became too profitable - BHXFCO
As for GB from MAN I can actually believe BA stopped certain routes from happening to protect feed on the Shuttles
Sorry GF your wrong Maersk did operate it but as a franchise as were the rest of the routes. Quite often Maersk would operate a BA regional route. To the passengers it was ALL BA. I hated flying on those CRJ 200's far too small for a route like FCO.
I remember flying MAN-FCO on a BA(R) 2 class B733 in May 2000. It was 100% full & the guy next to me was from Granada TV & said he booked the last seat the day before at a whopping £500 return (economy)..... but of course BA couldn't turn a profit in on any route full or not from MAN (so they say, of course 
).
).

Came right over my house today during my 8yr olds birthday party.
The screams of 11 little girls when they spotted it brought most of the stray dogs for 10 miles around!

China Cargo Airlines used to be Greatwall and if I remember correctly they did a shipment of breeding pigs a few years ago.

Why not? they have operated for a couple of years with the old CSA A321
into Dublin before they got their own aircraft, they are part of EU so can be chartered by any tour operator if the price is right.
