Eman Ahmed, 36, is likely to fly to Burjeel hospital in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.

"Eman will be flown in a non-scheduled carrier. She is likely to fly around 2 am but the final details are yet to be confirmed," said a source at the Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL).

No longer the world's heaviest woman, at 176 kgs, Eman will leave India close to 300 kgs lighter.

Meanwhile, Saifee hospital maintains that they have not received any communication from the VPS Healthcare that owns the Burjeel Hospital. "We have not received a mail from them yet. We will discharge Eman when they want us to but we have not received any communication. Her sister Shaimaa though asked us to not give her a medical briefing of Eman in the morning which we normally do every day," said Aparna Govil Bhasker, section chief of bariatric surgery at Saifee hospital. 

A spokesperson for VPS Healthcare had earlier confirmed, "This is a complex case and a number of different and special arrangements are being considered, including a hydraulic stretcher being flown in from Italy, special ambulances, etc." 

The spokesperson added, "The safety and wellbeing of patient forms part of critical logistical arrangements and will ensure VPS medical team will be able to deliver excellent and skilled care to patient as promised."
