What: Qatar Airways Boeing 777-300 en route from Tokyo Narita to Osaka
Where: Osaka
When: Aug 30th 2010
Why: The Qatar Airways had a normal flight; however on approach to its destination, the plane headed for a runway which was closed. The flight did a go-round (if one would call it that?) and approached the open runway, and made a safe landing.

Inquiring minds wonder at the source of the misdirection but so far, no one’s telling.
