Hop-A-Jet Expanding Managed Fleet to New Types

Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter has traditionally operated Bombardier business jets, but now the company is expanding into other types for aircraft owners who need management services. The first to be added is a Cessna Citation X, which will be based at Hop-A-Jet’s Fort Lauderdale, Florida headquarters and used for domestic and international travel.

Celebrating 50 years since its founding, Hop-A-Jet said it is growing and investing “in maintenance programs, pilot training, and operational support for the Citation platform while expanding the range of aircraft supported through its management services.”

With a cruise speed of up to 525 knots, the Citation X has a maximum altitude of 51,000 feet and can fly up to 3,140 nm. Its cabin is equipped with eight club seats.

“The Citation X gives clients more flexibility when speed and performance matter,” said Hop-A-Jet president Barry Ellis. “For travelers, it’s one of the most capable aircraft in its class, and for owners it reflects a continued commitment to supporting a broader range of aircraft through our management, maintenance, and flight services.”
