Audio at the time of the incident between the Air Canada pilot and air traffic control has since been released.
The Air Canada pilot asked: “Tower, just want to confirm, this is AI Canada 759. We see some lights on the runway there. Confirming good to land?”
The control tower confirms, stating: “Air Canada 759 confirmed cleared to land Runway 28 Right. There is no one on 28 Right but you.”
As they attempt to land, another speaker who is unknown then asked: “Where is this guy going? He’s on the taxiway.”
A United Airlines pilot was also recorded warning: “United-1 Air Canada flew directly over us.”
