Leadership

The person behind the fleet.

Eric Weisskopf is a seasoned aviation entrepreneur and executive, reshaping private air travel across Europe with Hans Jet — Southern Europe and the Mediterranean's premier private aviation specialist.

With a career spanning over 25 years, Weisskopf combines operational mastery, strategic insight, and a deep understanding of luxury service to deliver innovative travel solutions for high-net-worth clients.

He began his aviation journey in 2000, transitioning from commercial airlines to business aviation, where he quickly recognised the need for expertise across financing, legal structures, private banking, and marketing. That same year, he launched his first venture — SharePlane, Europe's first Pilatus PC-12 fractional ownership programme, laying the foundation for his later work in aircraft management.

Relocating to Malta in 2011, Weisskopf established regulatory frameworks that helped make the country a leading European aircraft register. Under his leadership, Hans Jet launched Europe's first private turboprop membership, complemented by bespoke itineraries through Hans Travel & Lifestyle.
