I Don't know if it has already being mentioned, But a friend of mine informed me that PIA 747's have being 'Banned' from UK Airspace, I saw what looked like a PIA 747 over Huddersfield on Wed ?
I have not read anything about a 747 ban.
The 747 was descending towards MAN @ 1555.
Regards.

Go back and ask your 'friend' to substantiate this statement.
Try Google for 'airline blacklist' (search 'UK') and perhaps see if you can find this? I cannot.

There is an article in the January edition of Airliner World.
Briefly, PIA suspended all B747 operations to Europe due to restrictions imposed by the CAA following inspections carried out on PIA flights to Europe made by B747, B777 and A310 aircraft. The B747 flight suspension came into effect early November.
Last Wednesdays PIA flights were operated by B777 aircraft.

IS the 747 ban still operational? I know they have been flying into LHR, although the 777s are still serving MAN.
And does anyone know about the AA 767 landing at MAN late morning on Wednesday? It wasn't a scheduled arrival as far as I could make out - so assumed it must be some kind of med/tech divert of another flight or a return from a departed Manchester flight?

I cannot remember the colour scheme but you could have been looking at the BAe RJX, the only (I think?) example of the advanced 'flying sausage' (BAe146).
