A Gulf Air Airbus A321-200, registration A9C-CC performing flight GF-764 from Bahrain (Bahrain) to Lahore (Pakistan), was on final approach to Lahore's runway 18R descending through about 600 feet AGL at about 14:19L (09:19Z) when the aircraft performed a side step to runway 18L due to belief runway 18R had been closed for maintenance work. The aircraft went around from almost over the runway 18L threshold, climbed back to 4000 feet, positioned for another approach to runway 18R, that was still available at that Friday time, and landed on that runway 18R about 15 minutes after the go around.
