Silver Airways unexpectedly stopped all operations on June 11, 2025, as reported by USA Today. After attempting to restructure through bankruptcy, the airline, which served Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean, canceled all flights, affecting many travelers. Passengers were advised not to go to the airport, as credit card refunds should be pursued through banks or travel agencies.
The sudden cancellation led to 52 flights being grounded, leaving passengers scrambling for alternate plans. As ABC Action News adds, Silver Airways' assets were sold to another airline holding company that chose not to continue operations in these regions. Due to the short notice, finding new flights has become expensive for many.
While it's rare for U.S. airlines to shut down entirely, Silver Airways' closure echoes trends seen during the pandemic when several regional carriers folded. This situation forces larger airlines to reevaluate their services. On a different note, JetBlue and United Airlines have recently collaborated on the Blue Sky initiative, providing travelers with expanded loyalty rewards and booking flexibility.
