Third Landing Mixup At SFO

An Aeromexico Boeing 737 lined up for the wrong runway at San Francisco International Airport last week in the third landing miscue at SFO in six months. The crew accepted a clearance for Runway 28R but set up for 28L instead. There was a Virgin America flight on 28L waiting to take off. Controllers saw the error when the Aeromexico flight was a mile out and ordered a go-around, which the crew performed before landing safely on the correct runway.
