An Egypt Air Bombardier C-Series CS-300, registration SU-GFI performing flight
MS-714 from Beirut (Lebanon) to Cairo (Egypt), was on approach to Cairo in low visibility, low visibility operations were in progress, and was cleared for the ILS approach to runway 05L. While turning final over the Nile river, about 10.5nm from the threshold of runway 05L, the aircraft went through the localizer runway 05L and aligned with runway 05C. ATC detected the false line up and queried the crew that they were cleared for 05L, not 05C. Subsequently ATC instructed the crew to turn left heading 360 and intercept localizer 05L. The crew intercepted localizer 05L and descended reaching 400 feet MSL about 2.6nm before the threshold runway 05L, where the aircraft should have been at 825 feet MSL. The crew subsequently went around, positioned for another approach to runway 05L and landed safely about 15 minutes after the go around.
The occurrence aircraft remained on the ground for about 5 hours, then returned to service.
