Florida-based Silver Airways Shuts Down, Leaving Travelers Stranded
Silver Airways, a regional carrier based in Florida, has abruptly canceled all flights and ceased operations, leaving numerous passengers stranded and advising them not to go to the airport. The airline announced its immediate shutdown on social media, informing travelers that they would be receiving refunds for canceled flights. The company has struggled financially and failed to attract new bidders during a bankruptcy auction, leading to this sudden closure. The shutdown disrupts travel and tourism between the U.S. and Caribbean, marking the end of an era for the airline that had been in operation for 14 years.
