*The Short Hop* , hosted by Andrew Schmertz, CEO and Founder of Hopscotch Go, explores the future of regional, on-demand air travel and the people, ideas, and innovations reshaping how we move. Through conversations with aviation leaders, entrepreneurs, travelers, and changemakers, Andrew brings listeners inside a new era of mobility where safe, efficient, flexible, and affordable air transportation makes distance feel smaller. Inspired by Hopscotch Air’s mission to connect people to the places and moments that matter most, *The Short Hop* highlights how regional airports, smarter travel options, and customer-centered service can help more people save time, avoid unnecessary ground delays, and get closer to where they need to be. From business trips and weekend escapes to the broader transformation of private and regional aviation, this series makes air travel more accessible, practical, and personal than ever before.
