Airport; Procedure
[We were] holding short of Runway 31 at Taxiway Lima at BTL. We gave Tower a call and informed them that we were ready for departure. Tower replied 'Aircraft X; climb and maintain 10;000 feet turn to a heading of 270 after departure Runway 31 cleared for takeoff.' We read back the clearance; verified that final was clear and crossed the hold short line to position the airplane on Runway 31 for takeoff. Just as we started moving; we saw Aircraft Y fly over us and land on the same runway; Runway 31. Pilot Flying had already stopped our airplane and we were around 20 feet short of the runway. I told Tower that we were stopping at current position and Aircraft Y landed right in front of us. The Tower Supervisor came online. Tower acknowledged and told us to line up and wait on Runway 31; we complied. Aircraft Y must have been to our right; behind and low (right behind our tail) and therefore we didn't see him. Aircraft Y vacated the runway; we got our takeoff clearance and complied. No further action was needed and the event terminated.
CE560 First Officer reported while taxiing onto the runway; another aircraft flew over them and landed on the same runway.
