A senior North Korean delegation led by Hwang Pyong-so, a vice chairman of the powerful National Defense Commission, flew into Incheon International Airport Saturday on the same jet leader Kim Jong-un and his wife Ri Sol-ju used in May.

The delegation paid a surprise visit to the closing ceremony of the Asian Games.

The plane is painted white and emblazoned with the North's official name and flag. A big red star in a red circle on the tail wing symbolizes the leader.
