Silver Airways, a regional airline based in Florida, instantly suspended all of its flights on Wednesday, leaving travellers stranded and looking for alternative travel options. The airline made the announcement via a speech that read,” We regret to inform you that we are ceasing procedures as of today, June 11, 2025,” according to a statement posted on the company’s website. The immediate expulsion comes after a failed effort to rebuild under bankruptcy. Gold had entered a deal to offer its assets to a different flight holding company, but the client decided against continuing to run its operations in Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. According to FlightRadar’s files, thousands of flights were originally scheduled for Wednesday and later this month. We regret to inform you that we are suspending procedures as of today, June 11, 2025, according to Silver Airways in a statement posted on its webpage. Metal attempted to sell its property to another flight holding company in an attempt to rebuild its bankruptcy, but it was unsuccessful. Sadly, they have since decided to stop operating its flights in Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. Do not go to the aircraft, delight. All purchases made with credit cards must be refunded through the credit card company or travel agency.” Silver Airways advises consumers to contact their credit card companies or travel agencies for payments. The declaration read,” All payments made with credit cards must be refunded.” The flight, which was once a major supplier of planes to Florida and the Caribbean, operated flights in and out of centres like Fort Lauderdale and Puerto Rico using short-haul ATR turboprops. Gold had been reducing its operations in recent months, cutting its fleet by half and delaying Orlando service in March. Only one day before the shutdown, airlines continued through Tuesday. In December 2024, Silver filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing over$ 100 million in debt. It had hoped that the procedure may be finished by the start of 2025, putting the airport on solid financial ground. A$ 5.7 million stalking horse bid had been made, but a recent bankruptcy court auction drew no additional offers, thwarting hopes for a successful turnaround. Silver Airways, which was founded in 2011 from the relics of Gulfstream International Airlines, quickly gained popularity as a regional airline in the south US and the Caribbean. However, the Covid-19 go slump, which worsened its finances, caused great fuel and maintenance costs. The Independent go editor Simon Calder claimed the flight had provided “essential connectivity,” but that” they don’t make the concept of a private airline” for the Sunshine State economically viable.” Silver’s collapse coincides with another local airline shutdown, operated by Qantas, which may wind down over the next seven weeks and cease operations wholly by July 31. While most people should get their money back via credit card privileges, he added,” the problem is going to be finding other transportation.”
