This is the second time the Sultan of Brunei Darussulam -- one of the richest men on earth and a flying enthusiast, flew his plane to Delhi yesterday. Earlier, he did it on his previous visit to India in 2008.
The Sultan piloted his Jumbo luxury aircraft to Delhi to attend the two-day ASEAN-India Commemorative Summit.
