Hopscotch Air Opens Base at Gabreski-Westhampton Beach Airport Leases New Hanger Space from Northside Hangers

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hopscotch Air, Inc., a FAA-certificated regional air mobility company, today announced it will base aircraft at Gabreski-Westhampton Beach Airport at new hanger space from Northside Hangers, LLC.

The move is to address a substantial uptick in customer traffic either originating from or going to the Hamptons.

“The summer, we have experienced increased traffic into and out of Westhampton, East Hampton, and Montauk Airports,” CEO Andrew Schmertz says. “This decision reduces our operational risks of having to reposition aircraft from either Farmingdale or White Plains.”

Hopscotch Air now has bases at four regional airports: Republic-Farmingdale, NY (KFRG), Westchester County Airport, NY (KHPN), Lawrence Municipal Airport, MA. (KLWM), and Francis S. Gabreski-Westhampton Beach Airport, NY (KFOK).

With at least one additional Cirrus Aircraft expected into the fleet this fall, Hopscotch Air is looking to add a base in the Philadelphia market as well.
