Fort Lauderdale-based Silver Airways announced on Wednesday morning that its operations will be shut down while it attempts to restructure in bankruptcy.
The airline announced the abrupt move in a brief message on its website.
“Dear Silver Airways Customers, We regret to inform you that we are ceasing operations as of today, June 11, 2025,” the message read. “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 refundable through your credit card company or your travel agency.”
Multiple flights that were scheduled for Wednesday were cancelled, including flights to and from Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Pensacola and Key West.
In an email, Silver encouraged customers to seek refunds “through points of sale at credit card companies and/or travel agencies.”
Silver Airways had filed for bankruptcy on Dec. 30, 2024, announcing it was to “allow us to secure additional capital and undertake a financial restructuring that will strengthen our position as a competitive airline.”
Silver Airways began operations in 2011 and operated flights in Florida, the Southwest and the Bahamas.
