Hopscotch Air (O2, Farmingdale) has announced that it will change its business model to a membership-only air taxi operator.
The operator, which currently celebrates its tenth anniversary, will continue to operate services onboard Cirrus SR20 and SR22 aircraft. Hopscotch Air flies primarily out of airports in Westchester County and Long Island in New York as well as airports in New Jersey.
To date, Hopscotch Air proferred its services to the customers openly. It said that more than 83% of all customers flew at least three times per year, justifying the transition to a membership-only model.
"By focusing on our frequent travellers we can provide more consistent service and better manage capacity vs. demand because, in the spring and summer travel season, demand far outpaces our capacity,” Vice-President (Customer Experience) Lisa Baez said.
