Pilot: I was not told about vehicle on runway

KUALA LUMPUR: The pilot, whose jet ran into a car on the tarmac of the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport and seriously injured a worker, claimed to have been cleared to land by the air traffic controller and that no notice was issued for maintenance work as required.

Capt Muhammad Fauwaz Zamzam, who had piloted the Bombardier Challenger 300, said he did not see any other light on the tarmac, except for the airport guiding lights and boundary markers.
