The history of Silver Airways is one of growth, adaptation and innovation. Founded in 2011, Silver Airways is an American regional airline that operates out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is the largest regional airline in the United States, and currently serves more than 40 cities throughout the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and the United States.

The airline was founded as a regional airline under the name Gulfstream International Airlines. It began operations with two Saab 340B turboprop aircraft, and was acquired by Victory Park Capital in 2011. The airline was then renamed to Silver Airways and began operating as a regional airline for United Airlines on a code-share basis.

Silver Airways has since grown to become the largest regional airline in the United States. It operates a fleet of more than 50 aircraft, including the Saab 340B, the ATR-42, and the Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia. The airline also operates charter flights and air cargo services.

Since its founding, Silver Airways has had several important milestones. In 2014, the airline expanded its network by adding service to seven destinations in the Caribbean, including the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. In 2017, the airline announced its intention to begin operating a fleet of ATR-42 aircraft in an effort to reduce operating costs and increase efficiency.

The airline also signed a new code-share agreement with American Airlines in 2018. This allowed Silver Airways to expand its network to more than 25 destinations in the United States and the Caribbean. In 2019, the airline announced that it had placed an order for 30 new Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia aircraft. This order was the largest single order of aircraft in Silver Airways’ history, and marked a significant milestone in the airline’s growth.

In 2020, Silver Airways announced that it would be launching a new loyalty program, Silver Rewards. This program allows members to earn points for flights and other purchases, and can be used for discounted flights and upgrades.

Although Silver Airways has had many successes, it has also had its share of difficulties. In 2015, the airline was involved in a federal investigation following the death of a passenger on a flight from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas. The investigation found that the airline had failed to adequately train its pilots on safety procedures for dealing with medical emergencies in-flight. The airline was also involved in a mid-air collision in 2018, when two of its aircraft collided over the Florida Everglades.

Silver Airways has come a long way since its founding in 2011. It has grown to become the largest regional airline in the United States, and has expanded its network to more than 40 cities in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and the United States. It has experienced several important milestones and has adapted to changing technology and customer needs. Despite its challenges, Silver Airways is well-positioned for continued success.
