SILVER AIRWAYS TO LAUNCH SERVICE FROM CHARLESTON INTERNATIONAL
Non-Stop Flights Start November 23rd to Orlando, Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale
CHARLESTON, S.C. – Connectivity between the Lowcountry and the Sunshine state will get easier for travelers this fall. Silver Airways today announced it will launch new service on November 23, from Charleston to Orlando, Tampa, and Ft. Lauderdale.
The Ft. Lauderdale-based carrier will begin service to Orlando International Airport three days per week, with those planes continuing service to Key West. Flights to Tampa International will operate three days per week and flights to Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International will operate two days per week.
“We are thrilled to introduce low fares and nonstop service between South Carolina’s most iconic city and three favorite Sunshine State destinations with Silver Airways’ safe, reliable and customer-friendly service,” said Silver Airways Senior Vice President Commercial and Finance Pedro Motta.
“Establishing these new and expanded routes is a win-win for Floridians and Charleston area residents alike,” said Elliott Summey, Chief Executive Officer of Charleston County Aviation Authority. “Silver is a strong regional airline with an extensive network. Their new service will not only expand our options to Ft. Lauderdale, they are opening the door to new markets in Tampa, Orlando and beyond.”
Operating from its hubs in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa, Silver Airways boasts the most routes within Florida and between Florida and the Bahamas.
The Silver Airways fleet is comprised of state-of-the-art aircraft with reliable, fuel-efficient turbo-prop engines. Silver will operate its ATR 42-600 46 seat and ATR72-600 70 seat aircraft for the Charleston flights.
“The Silver Airways announcement to link the Charleston area to three distinct regions in Florida is great news for our area’s steady progress toward recovery,” said Helen Hill, Chief Executive Officer of Explore Charleston and Chairman of the Aviation Authority Board. "Florida has long been an important market for our hospitality industry, and we know it’s a favorite among locals for a quick escape as the seasons change.”
"We are excited to welcome Silver Airways and its Tampa, Orlando, and Ft. Lauderdale passengers to the Lowcountry. This outstanding news for our industry and community continues an impressive run of significant air service announcements in recent weeks. As we navigate our pandemic recovery, we are encouraged by these votes of confidence in the strength, potential, and desirability of the Charleston market," said Michael Tall, Chairman of Explore Charleston's Board of Governors.
