On December 30th, Silver Airways voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Silver Airways provides service at the Tallahassee International Airport.
The news comes via a post on the company’s website. The “open letter” states “this decision will allow us to secure additional capital and undertake a financial restructuring that will strengthen our position as a competitive airline, ultimately benefiting you—our valued customers.”
The message also states that the company anticipates “completing this process by the first quarter of 2025, emerging stronger and ready to continue serving you with the same dedication we’ve upheld for over 13 years.”
The company informed customers that all tickets remain valid, flights can be booked with Silver Airways through their website or any other channel, and tickets purchased through any other airline or agency will be honored.
In response to the notice, David Pollard, the Director of Aviation for the Tallahassee, said that “we will be monitoring this closely in the weeks ahead.”
There’s a monopoly on aviation fuel at TLH.
The “brothers” have a contractual stranglehold on us.
This has been going on for decades. Ask Marx, the “fence builder.”
I would really like to see TR do an Investigative Report on what it cost to Land at that Airport. Account for every Penny, for a Commercial Plane, a Private Jet and a Personal Plane.
If you want to make a million dollars in aviation, start with two million and know when to quit.
Jet Blue was direct competition for Silver.
Flying out of Tallahassee is more expensive than the surrounding airports.
All those airport employees making six figures a year seem to lack the ability to stimulate growth. The airport needs its own Department of Government Efficiency. Cut the fat and lower businesses expenses.
I visited the airport this week. It looks like a ghost town and a shell of what once was a vibrant airport.
The solar system the built will never save enough money to pay for itself or upkeep.
