Beginning June 15, Silver Airways is to resume nonstop service to Key West from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, Orlando and Tampa international airports on 46-seat ATR42-600 aircraft.

ย 

After closing to visitors March 22 to minimize the potential spread of COVID-19, the Florida Keys reopened to visitors June 1. Silver Airways had suspended flights into and from Key West May 18 as part of service adjustments.

ย 

Silverโ€™s planned schedule into Key West International Airport features six flights per week from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (every day except Wednesday); five weekly flights from Orlando International Airport (Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday); and nine flights per week from Tampa International Airport (one Monday, Tuesday and Friday; and two Thursday, Saturday and Sunday).

ย 

โ€œThe resumption of Silver Airwaysโ€™ service gives the Keys much-needed air access from three major Florida markets,โ€ said Richard Strickland, director of airports for the Florida Keys & Key West. โ€œFlorida demand especially is anticipated to remain strong and, in fact, increase in coming months for the Keys.โ€
