Florida-based regional airline, Silver Airways, has been struggling for several years. In December, the airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Since then it fought to maintain its schedule, but many flights saw significant delays or cancellations. Additionally, it feuded with airports like Anguilla’s Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA) over more than $103,000 in unpaid fees. In March, it cancelled all flights at Orlando International Airport (MCO) and left passengers stranded. It’s been an ongoing erosion and now Silver Airways has sold all its assets and ceased operations (effective today, June 11th).
Silver Airways posted on Instagram to inform passengers of the shutdown. The post reads:
We regret to inform you that we are ceasing operations as of today, June 11, 2025. In an attempt to restructure in bankruptcy, Silver entered into a transaction to sell its assets to another airline holding company, who unfortunately has determined to not continue Silver’s flight operations in Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
Please do not go to the airport. All credit card purchases should be refunded through your credit card company or your travel agency.”
I’m bummed that Silver Airways went out of business as they filled a gap with flights between cities in Florida and to the Caribbean. American and Spirit fly some of the routes, but it was always fun to hop on one of the little pink planes to go somewhere tropical.
Anthony’s Take: Silver Airways ceasing operations seemed inevitable with how poorly the airline was run and its financial difficulties. It’s sad to see them go. I wonder if United will snap up the gate they have been using at Tampa International Airport (TPA).
