Silver Airways was a Florida-based regional carrier founded in 1988, operating flights across Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean, and had acquired Seaborne Airlines to expand its reach into Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2024 and failing to find a buyer willing to continue operations, Silver Airways abruptly ceased all flights on June 11, 2025, with its bankruptcy case later converted to Chapter 7 liquidation.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Silver Airways ceased all operations on June 11, 2025, after failing to find a buyer willing to continue running the airline during its Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. The case was later converted to Chapter 7 liquidation.
Silver Airways' IATA code was 3M, with ICAO code SIL.
Silver filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2024 carrying $100–500 million in debt. Despite continuing to operate on emergency financing and marketing itself to dozens of potential buyers, its bankruptcy auction received zero competing bids, and the sole interested party chose only to acquire select assets rather than continue the airline — leading to its June 2025 shutdown.
Seaborne Airlines had been acquired by Silver Airways and integrated into its network, but Seaborne was sold off separately during the bankruptcy process and has continued operating under new ownership — it's a distinct situation from Silver's own shutdown.
Silver Airways operated regional routes connecting Florida cities (including Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Tampa) to destinations across Florida, the Bahamas, and the wider Caribbean on turboprop aircraft.
No. Since Silver Airways does not operate flights, you can't book tickets directly with it. Search for your route under current carriers serving Florida and the Caribbean instead.
Silver Airways advised affected passengers to seek refunds through their credit card company or travel agency rather than through the airline directly, since it was no longer able to process refunds itself after shutting down.
No single carrier fully replaced Silver's network; various regional and Caribbean carriers have absorbed portions of the demand for routes it previously served.
Search for your origin and destination under current airlines serving Florida, the Bahamas, and Caribbean routes, since no single successor carrier took over Silver's full network.
There's no indication of a relaunch — with its bankruptcy case converted to Chapter 7 liquidation, the company is being wound down rather than restructured to resume flying.
