This airliner is seen in Episodes 5.01 and 5.02 when the air traffic control system is hacked so that two planes are taken off the system in an attempt to precipitate an air crash over London. It is most likely library footage and could well be one of the aircraft seen in 4.09.

In episode 6.01 this aircraft is shown taking off when Adam Carter travels to Iran.
