If you have a flight booked with Silver Airways, please read on—this is important:
What’s happening:
On June 11, 2025, Silver Airways abruptly suspended all flight operations amid its ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings (apnews.com). The airline posted across its website and Instagram:
“Please do not go to the airport… we regret to inform you that we are ceasing operations as of today, June 11, 2025” (instagram.com).
Silver had sold its assets to a holding company, which opted not to continue flight services across its Florida, Bahamas, and Caribbean routes
What this means for travelers:
-
Do not travel to the airport expecting a Silver flight
-
All flights are canceled without exception; customers found out either at the airport or via late notifications
-
Refunds should be processed through your credit card provider or the travel agency you booked with .
-
Rebooking on other airlines is highly competitive and expensive, given the summer surge and sudden capacity loss
What led to this abrupt shutdown:
-
Silver filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2024, aiming to restructure while keeping flights running
-
Recent attempts to sell its assets yielded no competitive bids, resulting in the abrupt halt of operations
-
The airline's fleet had already dwindled to eight turboprops, staff levels dropped, and routes to Florida and seasonal Caribbean destinations were severely reduced
Your next steps—if you’re affected:
-
Do not head to the airport. All Silver flights are canceled.
-
Submit a refund claim through your credit card issuer or travel agency—don’t wait.
-
Act fast to rebook on other carriers (American Airlines, JetBlue, Frontier, Cape Air, etc.), as fares may spike
-
Explore alternate options like driving or taking the train for short distances.
-
Monitor updates from Silver’s former routes—some destinations may have lost regional airline service entirely.
What remains operational:
Silver’s subsidiary, Seaborne Airlines, based in Puerto Rico, is continuing its seaplane routes between St. Croix and St. Thomas — it’s unaffected by Silver’s asset sale and shutdown.
Bottom line:
Silver Airways has halted all services indefinitely as of June 11, 2025. If you were planning travel with them—don’t go to the airport. Secure a refund immediately and explore alternative arrangements without delay.
