Narrative:
New orleans approach cleared us for a visual approach to runway 36L at new. We switched to tower and were cleared to land number 2 following citation on short final whom we had in sight. I looked out of my window to make sure final was clear when I spotted traffic that was apparently lining up for final as well. I immediately notified the captain; I called traffic again and this time visually pointed him out. Traffic had not changed course and was 3 o'clock and closing. Their trajectory looked to have them pass underneath us but they hadn't started deviating. The captain pushed the power up and began to climb; and told tower we were taking evasive action for traffic also on final. At that time the other aircraft finally made contact with the tower for the first time; saying they had us in sight; and the tower requested they make a right 360 with which they complied. Other aircraft [was] under the class B shelf of new orleans airspace and they hadn't attempted to contact a controller.
