Hopkinson Aircraft Sales

Hopkinson Aircraft Sales is an aircraft brokerage that sells private jets and turboprops in North America and beyond. The company's main office is in Calgary, Alberta, with another office in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company says it has more than 60 years of aviation experience across three generations of the Hopkinson family.

The company offers aircraft acquisitions, remarketing, market research, consulting and appraisal services. For acquisitions, it gives an expert opinion before a buyer spends. For remarketing, it uses its negotiating and marketing experience to sell aircraft. Consulting includes flight department setup, management company advice and mission analysis. Appraisals range from desktop reviews to detailed technical evaluations and records audits.

The company keeps a manual research library and gathers market intelligence across platforms. Its inventory includes private and corporate jets, turboprops and helicopters. The site lists aircraft such as a 2007 Citation Encore plus, a 1980 King Air 200 and a 1989 Falcon 50. A West Wind Aviation executive is quoted on the site, saying the firm has worked with Hopkinson for more than 25 years.

The company's history goes back to 1938. Keith Sandling Hopkinson helped build the Goderich airport in Ontario. He was chief ground school instructor for an elementary flying training school in Goderich during World War II. He founded a Canadian owners and pilots association and bought the Goderich airport in 1961. John Hopkinson took over the business after his father died.

The team includes Andrew Hopkinson as president, Keith Hopkinson as vice president, Christina Hopkinson as CFO and Nicole Hopkinson as CMO. The Calgary office phone number is (403) 291-9027.
