Copa Airlines flight CM131, a Boeing 737-800, was cleared for an approach to runway 16R at Lima-Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), Peru, but lined up on runway 16L, which was closed due to works in progress.
Descending through about 500 feet AGL tower instructed the aircraft to go around. The aircraft positioned for another approach and landed safely on runway 16R about 10 minutes.
At the time of the final approach to runway 16L a KLM Boeing 777-300 registration PH-BVD, which had just landed on runway 16R, was about to cross runway 16L.
