Silver Airways Cancels Orlando Flights After Aircraft Repossession

The regional airline, operating under bankruptcy protection, halts Orlando service following a leasing dispute over three planes.

Silver Airways abruptly canceled all flights at Orlando International Airport over the weekend, stranding passengers without prior notice.
The cancellations followed the repossession of three aircraft by Dutch leasing firm TrueNoord after a financial dispute.
The airline continues to operate flights from Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Puerto Rico with its remaining fleet of 11 planes.
Silver Airways has been under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since December 2024 and is seeking to restructure and sell its operations.
The U.S. Department of Transportation mandates refunds for affected customers, and Silver Airways is working to rebook itineraries for stranded travelers.
