An air ambulance carrying medical support for former Bangladeshi Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia is scheduled to land at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, December 9. The aircraft will later depart for London around 9 p.m. the same day, pending final medical evaluations and logistical preparations by Zia’s medical team.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB), the flight has been granted landing permission and will operate as a special medical evacuation mission. The air ambulance is a Bombardier Challenger 604 business jet, a model widely used for long-distance medical transfers due to its range and onboard medical facilities.

Zia’s planned transfer follows weeks of concern over her deteriorating health. Her medical team and party officials have been pressing for advanced treatment abroad. Any change in her condition or readiness could alter the flight schedule, officials said.
