MANDATE-LED · OFF-MARKET · GOVERNED EXECUTION
Process ownership across high-value aircraft, engine, and portfolio situations.
Hopperson runs off‑market aviation asset deals and related transitions, so that principals can move aircraft, engines, and portfolio positions without running broad public processes. We work for owners, lessors, airlines, and capital stakeholders to keep counterparties, documentation, and timing under control while protecting pricing, relationship dynamics, and deal certainty. By taking responsibility for the execution path from first brief through closing or handover, we reduce internal coordination load and help avoid value leakage that comes from fragmented outreach and unmanaged transitions.
We focus on situations where process quality matters more than visibility.

WHERE HOPPERSON IS ENGAGED
Off-Market Acquisition or Disposition
A principal needs to acquire or dispose of a defined aircraft, engine, or major assembly without running an open process. Hopperson structures the mandate, qualifies counterparties, controls information flow, and manages execution with pricing discipline and clear ownership of the process.
01
Lease Return, Redelivery, or Storage
An asset is approaching return, handover, storage, or transition. We coordinate conditions, records, discrepancies, counterparties, and timing so that redelivery or storage remains structured and manageable for the principal.
02
Recovery, Repossession,
or Lender-Influenced Execution
or Lender-Influenced Execution
Default, enforcement risk, or lender direction brings assets and stakeholders under pressure. Hopperson helps define authority, align parties, and run recovery, transition, or sale workstreams under a single governed mandate instead of multiple uncoordinated actions.
03
Restructuring
or Asset-Linked Capital Pressure
or Asset-Linked Capital Pressure
A refinancing, restructuring, or liquidity situation is tied to specific aircraft, engines, or portfolios. We coordinate the asset, documentation, stakeholder, and timing dimensions so that capital decisions can move along a workable, execution-ready path.
04
WHAT WE DO
Hopperson works across the aviation asset lifecycle through three tracks. Each has a distinct role, but all are built around defined representation, controlled process, and disciplined execution.
TECHNICAL & EXECUTION CAPABILITIES
Technical and execution capabilities support Hopperson’s mandate work across transactions, asset management, and selected capital situations. They include inspections and records audits, technical status review, documentation control, redelivery and transition support, recovery coordination, and transaction-linked technical input where required. These capabilities are applied within defined mandates and oversight engagements. They support execution around assets; they are not offered as stand-alone operational services.
WHY HOPPERSON
01
One accountable process owner
Hopperson runs the process end-to-end under a defined mandate, reducing internal coordination load and avoiding gaps in ownership.
02
Controlled market contact
When counterparties need to be approached, outreach is selective, staged, and documented, helping reduce leakage risk and protect pricing and relationship dynamics.
03
Less noise, more execution
The model is built for situations where uncontrolled circulation and multiple intermediaries create more risk than value, allowing internal teams to focus on decisions rather than chasing process.
04
Continuity across the asset lifecycle
The same mandate logic can continue across transaction, holding, redelivery, storage, and exit phases, reducing re-briefing and preserving execution continuity.
WHO WE WORK WITH
01
Aircraft Owners & Lessors
Managing acquisitions, disposals, portfolio moves, redeliveries, storage periods, and recovery situations around defined aircraft and engines — with one accountable process owner, controlled outreach, and a documented execution path they can stand behind.
02
Airlines & Operators
Navigating fleet changes, returns, transitions, and coordination with owners, lessors, and lenders around handover, condition, and documentation — with structured support that reduces internal noise and keeps technical and records workstreams under control.
03
Banks, Lenders, & Capital Stakeholders
Seeking structured, documented execution paths around specific aviation exposures — with clear mandate logic, governed stakeholder communication, and a process record that supports internal and regulatory requirements.
FROM THE CEO
Aviation asset situations are rarely decided by price alone. Timing, records quality, technical condition, and stakeholder alignment often matter just as much, and they are shaped by how the process is run from the start. Hopperson was built to hold the mandate, run that process under control, and bring serious execution to transactions, oversight, and capital-linked situations around aircraft and engines.
Ten years. Deliberately narrow. Institutionally focused.
Evgeny Mitelev
FOUNDER & CEO
Structured execution where process quality decides the outcome.
