Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) CEO Captain Chester Voo said the Beechcraft Model 35 Bonanza made a safe landing.

“CAAM Johor’s air traffic control tower received a call at 10.40am from the aircraft pilot requesting for a landing at Senai International Airport, Johor Bahru, due to technical problems,” he said in a statement.

Voo added the private aircraft, operated by Premier Air Singapore, was en route from Seletar Airport in Singapore to Melaka.

The two Singaporean pilots on board are reportedly in a “stable condition”. No details of any injuries were released.

The aircraft has been moved to the emergency lane of the highway in order not to obstruct traffic.

“Search and rescue teams have completed all required tasks,” he said, adding that investigations will be conducted by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau under the transport ministry.

On June 4, 2017, a light airplane crashed-landed on a yet-to-be opened flyover along the Nusajaya Pulai Highway in Johor. There were no fatalities.

The Piper PA28 light airplane, operated by the ELITE Flying Club, was undergoing a training flight when it came down at 10.15am.
