Status: Silver Airways ceased operations on June 11, 2025. In a statement reported by two independent news outlets, the airline said it was ceasing operations that day, canceled all future flights, told passengers not to go to the airport, and said credit card purchases should be refundable through the card company or travel agency. It had filed for bankruptcy in December 2024. Nothing on this page can be booked.
This article used to be a promotional review of the airline. It has been cut back to what those two outlets reported.
What Happened
Silver Airways was a Florida-based airline. It filed for bankruptcy in December 2024, and on June 11, 2025 it stopped flying, in a statement both outlets quote as "ceasing operations as of today, June 11, 2025". All future flights were canceled.
The destinations both outlets name are Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Pensacola and Key West, and both place the airline's flying in Florida and the Bahamas.
What Passengers Were Told
The instructions reported at the time were these:
- Do not go to the airport.
- Seek a refund through your credit card company or travel agency. The reported wording was that all credit card purchases "should be refundable" through one of those two routes.
Beyond that, we have nothing sourced to tell you about tickets bought with cash, travel vouchers, bookings made through another airline, or what happened to claims filed in the bankruptcy, and we are not going to guess at any of it.
A Correction: the "Free Spirit" Program Was Not Silver's
An earlier version of this page said Silver Airways ran a loyalty program called "Free Spirit". That was wrong. Free Spirit was Spirit Airlines' program. We found no evidence that Silver Airways operated a frequent flyer program of its own, and we have removed the claim rather than replace it with a guess.
Updated October 2, 2026: Silver Airways ceased operations on June 11, 2025, canceling all future flights, so nothing here can be booked. We added a status line, rewrote the title and the summary fields so they no longer sell the airline, and cut the article back to what two independent outlets report. That meant removing the booking instructions, the promotional sections, and a set of product and route claims (cabin classes, baggage, in-flight service, code-share agreements, a ranked list of popular routes) that the page had asserted without a source. We also removed a false claim that Silver ran a loyalty program called "Free Spirit", which was Spirit Airlines' program. Silver's own site could not be read, so the shutdown rests on the two outlets in the sources below.
