Narrative:
Bos approach vectored air carrier X towards runway 4L. Traffic was pointed out for runway 4R. Air carrier X called traffic in sight and was cleared for visual approach to runway 4L to maintain visual separation from traffic. Air carrier X proceeded toward runway 4L from the west side of runway 4L centerline while traffic approached runway 4R from the east. Air carrier X received landing clearance from bos tower and proceeded to land without incident on runway 4L. Tower noted to air carrier X runway 4R traffic was going around.
