Low-Cost Regional Connections
HOPS is a flexible and affordable regional airline built for the UK. With a fleet ranging from the rugged BN2 Islander to the larger Airbus A321neo, we are uniquely positioned to handle every type of route - from lifeline island flights to high-demand city hops. Our promise is simple: every route we operate is under one hour from wheels up to wheels down, giving passengers fast and convenient connections across the country.
At the core of HOPS lies our unique hub-and-spoke model, centred on Manchester. Each spoke airport also acts as a mini-base, feeding more destinations and multiplying options for passengers. Whether it's a quick flight to the coast, a business connection to another regional city, or a short hop to the capital, our network is built to make the UK feel smaller and more connected.
We specialise in making the UK more accessible by air. Instead of long drives, slow ferries, or multi-hour train rides, HOPS provides rapid links between cities, towns, and islands. From Manchester, Liverpool, and Leeds to the Highlands and the Channel Islands, our short, sharp hops open up a world of domestic connectivity at low cost.
While we only fly routes under an hour, our varied fleet gives us unmatched flexibility. The BN2 Islander ensures lifeline connections to remote communities, while the A321neo efficiently handles heavy passenger demand on busier routes. With Manchester as our hub and spoke airports extending the reach, HOPS is redefining how regional air travel works in the UK.
