Silver Airways is a leading American regional airline headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that primarily serves as a "feeder" carrier for major airlines like United, JetBlue, and American. Founded in 2011, it is categorized as a regional airline that operates a fleet primarily composed of ATR 42-600 and ATR 72-600 turboprop aircraft, which are ideal for short-haul routes to smaller destinations that cannot support large jet service. The airline is famous for its extensive network connecting Florida hubs (like Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Tampa) to the Bahamas, as well as serving the Caribbean via its San Juan, Puerto Rico hub. In 2026, Silver Airways remains a vital link for travelers seeking "island hopping" experiences or visiting regional markets in the Southeastern United States. While it operates under its own brand, it maintains "Interline" and "Codeshare" agreements that allow passengers to book a single ticket for a journey that starts on a Silver turboprop and connects to a major international jet, providing a seamless baggage and check-in experience.
