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.

He left this afternoon for home.

The Sultan is one of the world's longest serving monarchs, who assumed the throne in 1967.

The furnishings in his aircraft reflect his taste of precious metals as the plane is fitted with items made of solid gold and Lalique crystals.
