The new private jet of Fly-Coop Ltd. — the company made (in)famous by Antal Rogán’s helicopter trips — is an extremely expensive model, boasting a feature that makes it stand out among all aircraft registered in Hungary so far: it has an enormous range. According to official factory data, Bombardier Global 5000 jets can travel nearly 10,000 kilometres on a single tank of fuel: flying non-stop, someone boarding in Budapest could travel as far as South America in under 10 hours.
As 24.hu reported earlier, Fly-Coop Ltd. expanded its fleet with such a Canadian-manufactured ultra-long range luxury aircraft in early spring. The Bombardier has not yet entered service, nor does it appear on the list of the company’s fleet on Fly-Coop’s website. However, Hungarian authorities issued it the registration code HA-EAR already in March, though the identity of the true owner remained unclear at the time.
The aircraft, equipped with two Rolls-Royce engines — currently undergoing a thorough refurbishment in Vienna — was manufactured in 2009, and its estimated market value is still between 6 and 8 billion forints.
According to the current registration list published on the website of the Ministry of Construction and Transport, the owner is a Cypriot company named Aeroblue Engineering Ltd. However, the Nicosia-based company directed by a Hungarian citizen, Csaba Lajos Baljer, is not an independent, financially strong enterprise, despite having previously imported another aircraft into Hungary – at least on paper.
The Ministry’s registration list shows that Aeroblue is also the registered owner of another multi-billion-forint aircraft, an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom. The private jet was registered by Hungarian authorities under the designation HA-EMA in October 2023. The operation of the Embraer is also handled by Budaörs-based Fly-Coop, so that’s where we initially asked for assistance in untangling the aircraft’s ownership background. However, the company refused to provide any information, forcing us to turn to Cyprus’ paid company registry system.
