Arkia flight IZ5808, a night time flight from Eilat, Israel, was approaching Tel Aviv-Ben Gurion Airport when the crew requested a visual approach to runway 12. The copilot was Pilot Flying. The controller then cleared the flight for a right hand circuit for runway 12.
During the turn to finals the copilot began to line up with runway 08. At the same time the captain was working the 'before landing' check list. After finishing the check list, the captain observed that the aircraft was lined up with the wrong runway.
At the same time the Tower Controller also noted the error and radioed: "AIZ5808, turn left, you are on final 08".
The captain quickly responded: "Copied AIZ5808, we have the runway in sight".
