PIA planes to be banned from Europe

Re: PIA planes to be banned from Europe

Light Bearer,

Let me ask you this if you don't mind. A year or so ago, PIA used to have a direct flight from Lahore to Houston (Bush Int'l Airport). The flight used to land in Manchester for re-fueling and then straight to Houston, Texas. Is it true that Manchester authorities weren't happy with PIA's safey which led to the cancellation of the entire flight from Lhr. to Houston?
Regards,
Umer
