Former Bangladesh PM Khaleda Zia to be Flown to London for Treatment

Dhaka, December 8, 2025 – Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, 80, is scheduled to be flown to London for urgent medical treatment after delays due to technical issues and concerns about her health stability.

A replacement air ambulance, arranged by the Qatari government, is now slated to land in Dhaka on Tuesday, December 10, 2025, according to aviation officials. The aircraft has been assigned a landing slot of 8:00 AM and a departure time of 9:00 PM on the same day.

Zia, the chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and a three-time prime minister, has been receiving treatment at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka for several ailments for approximately two weeks. Initial plans for her departure earlier in the week were delayed when the air ambulance originally provided by the Emir of Qatar experienced technical difficulties.

A revised departure plan for Sunday was also postponed after her medical team determined that she was not well enough for the journey.

The replacement air ambulance, a Bombardier Challenger CL-60 jet rented from Germany-based FAI Aviation Group, is fully equipped with critical-care facilities, including ventilators, monitors, and a medical team trained in in-flight intensive care.

This is not the first time Ms. Zia has sought medical treatment abroad. She last travelled to London for treatment in January on a personal air ambulance provided by the Emir of Qatar.
