When Should You Use a Broker Versus Contacting a Private Aviation Operator Directly?

Andrew Schwartz from Hopscotch breaks down when to use a broker versus contacting an operator directly in private aviation. Brokers are ideal for high net worth individuals traveling to varied destinations, offering wide aircraft selection and operator access. However, for routine travelers flying the same routes, working directly with an operator saves on broker fees and streamlines communication. Andrew notes that 90% of Hopscotch's customers came directly to them last year. The episode concludes with an invitation to learn more about Hopscotch ER and their public offering.
