Florida-based airline Silver Airways is shutting down, the company announced on social media overnight.
According to the announcement, the airline is ceasing all operations as of June 11. The statement said the decision was made by another airline holding company in charge of Silver’s assets, which were sold during an attempt to restructure in bankruptcy.
The airline holding company, which was unnamed, ceased Silver’s operations in Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
“Please do not go to the airport,” the social media post reads. Silver offered nonstop flights to Fort Lauderdale, Key West and Pensacola out of Tampa International Airport.
The company said all credit card purchases should be refundable.
On Dec. 30, 2024, Silver announced on its website that it voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida to secure additional capital and undertake a financial restructuring.
“[It] will strengthen our position as a competitive airline, ultimately benefiting you—our valued customers,” the previous statement reads.
