Silver Airways has launched its regularly scheduled flights aboard its new ATR -600 series aircraft on April 22. The first flight departed Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport at 10:40 a.m and arrived at Key West International Airport at 11:55 am (EST).
Silver Airways, an American independent, regional airline, is reinventing the regional flying sector by being the first U.S. carrier to operate ATR -600 series aircraft. Silver Airways has taken delivery of three new ATR 42-600 aircraft from NAC (Nordic Aviation Capital). The aircraft is specifically designed for short-haul markets, but with the same look, feel and customer amenities of larger jetliners. The flight on April 22, marked the first time revenue passengers have flown on an ATR -600 operated by a U.S carrier.
The new aircraft are allowing Silver to expand its service in the Southeastern United States, the Bahamas and the Caribbean. By initially introducing the mission-specific ATR 42-600 aircraft, with seating for 46, Silver now has the unique ability to offer quicker direct flights to even more short and medium-haul leisure and business destinations in both domestic and nearby international markets.
