Hopscotch Air, based in Farmingdale, is set to launch scheduled operations through a strategic partnership with Spain's Euroairlines, utilizing the Euroairlines 'Q4' IATA code to market flights across various global distribution systems. The carrier, which currently operates a fleet of four Cirrus Aircraft, including an SR-20 and three SR-22s, plans to expand its services from White Plains.
The airline's chief executive, Andrew Schmertz, revealed in late 2025 that Hopscotch Air aims to pursue a commuter air carrier certificate to expand into scheduled services with aircraft such as the Cessna C208 Grand Caravan and Tecnam P2012, both single turboprops. This move indicates the airline's goal to increase regional connectivity and fleet versatility.
Hopscotch Air's expansion will focus initially on marketing empty-legs before introducing dedicated scheduled services, primarily out of White Plains, with an emphasis on serving regional markets and leveraging partnerships. This development aligns with the airline's broader strategy to develop a flexible, regional operation capable of adapting to market demands.
