INVEST IN HOPSCOTCH AIR BY HOPSCOTCH ACQUISITION CORPORATION TODAY!
For more than a decade, Hopscotch Air has been serving small, medium, and large airports– many of these airports have never had airline service. In fact, of the 5,000 airports in the U.S., 70% of traditional airline traffic goes through only 30, according to a NASA study. This is why Hopscotch Air is the solution to the regional airline mess.*
The private aviation market has grown exponentially over the past two years and we feel Hopscotch Air, inc is well-positioned to capture more of the growing market with fares between 30-50% lower than traditional private aviation. We operate fuel efficient, technologically-advanced aircraft and are looking to add electric aircraft when they become available.**
We have the highest-level Part 135 FAA certificate available meaning we have the authority to grow to any size fleet with an unlimited number of pilots. We have a perfect safety record and we strive to operate at the highest levels of safety on every flight.

We fly on your terms, on your schedule and to destinations you’re really going to. Why fly into Boston-Logan when you’re really going for a meeting in Lexington? There’s a closer airport near Lexington that the airlines don’t serve. And we do this at the highest levels of safety. We fly Cirrus aircraft, which are among the safest general aviation aircraft on the market. Each aircraft has on-board weather, advanced avionics, and a unique whole airplane parachute system.
At Hopscotch Air, we fly to hundreds of airports big, small, and very small, and are often able to take clients to airports closer to destinations than the bigger, busier airports.
We not only believe our price points are 30-50% below traditional private aviation, we also operate a branded air carrier, which is rare among private aviation companies. That means the majority of our customers are our own, retail customers - not sourced from brokers.
Through the years, we’ve had partnerships with Swiss International Airlines, the New York Islanders Hockey Club, and other well-known brands.
The Problem & our Solution
That’s because we allow customers to skip long lines at the airport, control their own flight schedules, and fly in an affordable, safe, private aircraft.
Our goal is to make our clients feel at home. That’s why we stress safety above all else so customers can feel secure in their travel. We believe in establishing a positive culture for our crewmembers, valuing each and every one of them for their service, dedication and commitment to the safety of each other and all of our passengers.
We have a flexible, customer-centric business model, generating almost all of our revenue from selling flights to public, and often high-net worth individuals. We earn incremental revenue through training similarly situated companies, and by acting as “flying billboards” for our marketing partners.
The Market & Our Traction
In our view, there are few regional private air solutions out there. In fact, the regional travel market has lost four major airlines in the past two years, leaving dozens of northeast cities without airline service (source, source).
So it makes sense that we feel to be currently dominating the New York metro market - which is among the wealthiest in the nation.
As a regional player, we also feel to be well-positioned for the nascent electric aircraft market, since those aircrafts will be best used for short-hop flights. We have aircrafts based at Westchester County Airport, Republic Airport, Long Island, and routinely fly from Teterboro Airport, NJ. We also regularly service the big, commercial airports, including KJFK, KLGA, KEWR, and KBOS.

There's more than 100 followers on our StartEngine page-- people who are interested in what we have to say but haven't yet invested.
So-- I ask you? What's holding you back? What questions can we answer?
If you have already invested, thank you! Now, we'll ask you to ask your friends. Some of your friends have probably flown Hopscotch Air.
We're looking to raise money to acquire additional aircraft. And to raise pilot wages, since you can't have an airline without airplanes and pilots.
On the aircraft front, leasing Cirrus aircraft has become nearly impossible, for a number of reasons. We've always maintained a fleet of leased and owned aircraft. We believe owning them right now is the best approach.
So, jump in. Read the offering statement and the disclosures. Ask questions. And see if Hopscotch Acquisition Corporation can fit into your portfolio.

On the Go with Hopscotch Air November 15 Update. In this video we meet Chief Pilot Asael Greenberg. The Chief Pilot is the Lord of the Rings. He oversees all pilots, training and checking, Asael explains how important his role is.

The video contains forward-looking statements and information relating to, among other things, the company, it's business plan, and its industry. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of, assumptions made by, and information currently available to the company's management.
In this video, we talk about making our shirts and jackets available-- they're not ready yet but will let you know when you can get Hopscotch Air gear.
We also preview 2022 flights and what we're experiencing regarding demand (hint: it's good!)
Hopscotch Air has experienced significant demand this year and we ant to respond to it. So you can fly when you want to fly.
We plan on using the funds we raise for two main purposes.
1. We'll raise pilot wages. There's a worldwide pilot shortage and we have to compete for pilot services. You need pilots to fly the planes. Raising wages will attract pilots who will stay longer.
2. We need additional aircraft. We estimate that if our raise is fully subscribed to, we can acquire two additional Cirrus aircraft. We'll purchase one and lease another.
We believe the demand supports this use of funds.
\
We're also planning to make available our awesome pilot shirts and jackets. Stand by for details.
11.02.22
We're off to a good start with investments and I want to thank everyone for considering this. Many of our customers have also invested, proving the value of our service.
Here's a brief look inside the Cirrus Aircraft. More to come!

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
