Florida-based Silver Airways shut down and halted all flights Wednesday, telling customers to “not go to the airport.” The regional airline, which had offered flights to five cities in the Sunshine State as well as others to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, announced on Instagram that the shutdown was the result of the company’s filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy late last year. “We regret to inform you that we are ceasing operations as of today, June 11, 2025,” the company wrote in a statement posted to social media. “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 not to continue Silver’s flight operations in Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.” The airline’s final flight, according to FlightAware, was from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale late Tuesday night. It canceled 52 flights the following day. 7 News Miami reports that more than 500 employees were let go. Silver Airways launched in 2011.
