Silver Airways is a regional airline in the southeast that serves a network of routes within Florida, the Bahamas and Caribbean. However, as of late, they have tried and failed at many routes outside of Florida, and a new slew of cuts have put their profitability and overall health of the airline into question. They have also dealt with financial issues with their gate space agreements at their primary base, Fort Lauderdale, again bringing the future of the airline into question.

 

 

Network Cuts and Station Closures

 

The full set of cuts with their recent announcement incudes 8 routes across the entirety of the network, including some major pairs being dropped such as Ft. Lauderdale to Orlando, West Palm Beach to Tampa, and San Juan to Santiago de los Caballeros. 

 

 

Many of these routes also have a short notice time to when the cancellations take effect, suggesting the losses from these flights are so bad they need to be ended as soon as possible to conserve cash. In fact, three of the routes have already ended, and a full list with all routes being dropped is included in the table below.

Ft. Lauderdale	Gainesville	6 Oct 2024
