Andrew Schmertz
Andrew Schmertz is CEO and co-founder of Hopscotch Air, started the air taxi company in 2009 and says with the dismantling of many regional routes from major airlines, the time is perfect for the expansion of Hopscotch for both personal and business travel. Hopscotch Air has been serving small, medium, and large airports in the Northeast – many of these airports have never had airline service. According to a NASA study, of the 5,000 airports in the U.S., 70% of traditional airline traffic goes through only 30. This is why Hopscotch Air is the antidote to the regional airline mess. the Cirrus aircraft that make up the Hopscotch fleet;. What he sees as the future of the air taxi industry and what he would like to see happen to replace the cancellation of many regional routes nationwide.
