Air ambulance for Khaleda to land in Dhaka on 8am Tuesday: Caab officials

The air
ambulance, arranged by the Qatar Emir, to take ailing BNP Chairperson Begum
Khaleda Zia to London is scheduled to arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal International
Airport in Dhaka at 8:00am on Tuesday, according to officials at the Civil
Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB).
Sources at the CAAB confirmed
that the flight has been granted landing permission.
Departure of
the flight, carrying Khaleda Zia, depends on the assessment and preparedness of
the BNP chief's medical team, the official said.
The Qatar government arranged
the aircraft, renting it from the Germany-based FAI Aviation Group.
The aircraft assigned to the
mission is a Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL60) – a business jet widely used for
long-distance medical evacuation.
The BNP chairperson has been
undergoing treatment at the Evercare Hospital in Dhaka since December 23.
