KUALA LUMPUR — A Boeing 737-800 jet emblazoned with the Johor royal crest and livery has been spotted in Washington DC – the latest addition to the Johor sultan’s fleet of automobiles and aircraft.

Plane spotters in the United States recently snapped pictures of the Boeing Business Jet 2 which is capable of 10 hours’ non-stop flight.

Sources told The Malaysian Insider that the jet is expected to arrive in Johor Baru in the next few weeks from Washington.
