Hopscotch Air joins ACSF aviation safety program

Air taxi Hopscotch Air has joined the Air Charter Safety Foundation’s Aviation Safety Action Program.

The ASAP program, established in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration, encourages voluntary safety reporting by aviation professionals.

This program allows operators to identify and correct potential safety issues before they result in incidents or accidents, creating a proactive safety culture.

Hopscotch Air provides air taxi service aboard Cirrus aircraft based in Boston, Farmingdale, and White Plains, New York.

Its on-demand flights service the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Eastern Canada.

Hopscotch Air CEO Andrew Schmertz says, “We’re excited to participate in the ACSF’s ASAP program.”

He adds, “Safety is our highest priority, and having a platform to openly report and address safety concerns and learn from others strengthens our commitment to continuous improvement.”

Schmertz noted, “Joining this program ensures we remain at the forefront of private aviation safety.”

ACSF President Bryan Burns says, “ASAP empowers aviation organizations to self-report and proactively address safety issues.”

He concluded, “Every participant contributes to the overall safety of the industry, and we’re thrilled to welcome Hopscotch Air to this initiative. Their involvement exemplifies how even smaller operators can make a big impact on aviation safety.”
