Hopkinson Aircraft Sales

Hopkinson Aircraft Sales is an aircraft brokerage with offices in Scottsdale, Arizona and Calgary, Alberta. It is run by members of the Hopkinson family, with Andrew Hopkinson listed as president and Keith Hopkinson as vice president.

The firm works on both sides of a transaction. For buyers it offers acquisition advisory and market research; for sellers it handles remarketing. It also provides consulting and appraisals, and says it can assemble teams for technical assessments and records audits ahead of a purchase.

Its inventory covers private and corporate jets, turboprops and helicopters. Recent listings on its website have included a Citation Encore+, a King Air 200 and a Falcon 50, which indicates a focus on the light-to-midsize and turboprop end of the pre-owned market.

The company says it works with clients internationally. It describes its background as three generations of family involvement in aviation; independent supplier listings associate it with John Hopkinson & Associates, an aircraft brokerage and consulting business in the Calgary area.

Buyers should note that Hopkinson acts as a broker and advisor rather than a charter operator, and should confirm which side of a deal the firm represents before engaging it.
