FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Silver Airways’ complete operational, fleet and customer service transformation continues to reinvent the regional flying sector. Now America’s leading independent regional airline is further expanding its safe, reliable and customer-focused ATR service in the Southeast U.S.
Starting May 21, 2020, Silver Airways is introducing new nonstop flights between Charleston, South Carolina and three Florida gateways:
-
Orlando – Charleston:
- Daily nonstop service.
- The only nonstop travel option between Charleston and Central Florida.
- Continuing service to Key West.
-
Fort Lauderdale – Charleston:
- Four times weekly nonstop service will greatly enhance flight options to/from South Florida.
-
Tampa – Charleston:
- Three times weekly nonstop service.
- Silver will be the only airline operating this route.
In addition to nonstop service between Charleston and Florida, the new routes will also provide convenient connections to Silver’s extensive network throughout the Sunshine State, Bahamas and the Caribbean, as well as a variety of destinations throughout the U.S. through Silver’s codeshare and interline ticketing partners.
“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.
“It is exciting to welcome Silver Airways to Charleston International and begin this partnership. Silver’s arrival represents a milestone for our airport, as we will now offer the good people of our region service on ten airlines,” said Paul G. Campbell, Jr., 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 Fort Lauderdale, they are opening the door to new markets in Tampa, Orlando and beyond.”
“Silver Airways’ dedication to customer service is a perfect complement to the airport’s commitment to an optimal passenger experience and the Lowcountry’s proud reputation of unrivaled hospitality,” said Helen Hill, Chief Executive Officer of Explore Charleston and Chairman of the Aviation Authority Board. “Establishing these new and expanded routes is a win-win for Floridians and Charleston area residents alike. It is also further evidence of our community’s economic strength and the airport’s positive momentum.”
To celebrate the new nonstop service, Silver is offering fares from $69* available at silverairways.com for a limited time for travel through September 30, 2020, for ticketing before March 18, 2020.
Whether you’re visiting Charleston for its rich 300-year history and beautifully preserved architectural treasures, its sumptuous dining, bustling culture and outdoor activity, or Charleston’s vibrant business and military sectors, Silver Airways will get you there aboard its fleet of new state-of-the-art ATR 72-600 aircraft. The ATR-600 series aircraft is specifically designed for shorter haul markets, but with the same look, feel and customer amenities of larger jetliners.
The new ATR-600 series features the widest cabin in the regional aircraft market with a new ergonomic design and lightweight slim seats offering passengers maximum comfort with up to a 32-inch pitch offering more legroom than many mainline aircraft. In addition, Silver’s ATR fleet offers spacious full-size overhead bins for carry-on bags along with full-size lavatories, bright LED lite cabins and is quieter than regional jets. The new ATR-600 series also features the latest innovations in cockpit technology with simplified, integrated LCD advanced functions, enhancing safety and improved handling for pilots, as well as the latest in avionics technology. The state-of-the-art, all-glass cockpit further reduces flight crew workload and enhances situational awareness while providing better reliability, maintenance cost savings and weight reduction. In addition, Silver Airways has codeshare and interline relationships with most of the leading airlines in the U.S. and many worldwide. The new ATRs provide superior air transportation with a level of comfort and quietness commensurate with the service of Silver’s worldwide airline partners.
