KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 (Reuters) - A small private jet crashed into a motorbike and a car while attempting to land at an airport in the outskirts of Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, leaving at least 10 people dead, officials said on Thursday.
The aircraft lost contact with the air traffic control tower and crashed into a motorbike and a car on the highway, he said.
"There was no emergency call, the aircraft had been given clearance to land," Hussein Omar said.
The CAAM said the flight was operated by Jet Valet Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian private jet services company.
