^ Usually aircraft ferry/delivery fights details are not displayed on airport's flight's arrivals/departures information display system.
They display information about scheduled passenger flights.

Any particular reason for basing this aircraft at LHE? Isn't the aircraft supposed to used for ISB-MAN route initially?

^ Probably after completion of aircraft import duty/tax paper work at Islamabad Airport, AirBlue, due to limited aircraft parking bays at Islamabad Airport, ferried A340 to Lahore Airport for temporary parking before introduction of the aircraft type on airline's Islamabad-Manchester-Islamabad flights.

Second Airbus A340-313X (currently registered in Ireland as EI-ETY) of AirBlue has been ferried from Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées Airport, France, to Istanbul Airport (IST), Turkey, where it will be painted in AirBlue livery.
Pakistani registration AP-EDE is reserved for this A340.
