Airline Cancels Flights, Tells Passengers Not To Go to Airport
Passengers on a Florida-based airline will either need to cancel their trips or find an alternative airline to fly with, as one company abruptly ceased operations on Wednesday.
Silver Airways released a statement on social media explaining that all flights scheduled for June 11 were canceled, and that the airline would no longer serve customers.
"We regret to inform you that we are ceasing operations as of today," the statement reads.
"In an effort to restructure in bankruptcy, Silver entered into a transaction to sell its assets to another airline holding company, who unfortunately has determined to not continue Silver's flight operations in Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean."
The airline then told passengers "please do not go to the airport," and ensured that full credit card refunds would be offered through the passenger's bank or travel agency.
FlightAware says 52 total flights from Silver were canceled on Wednesday.
The airline launched in 2011 and was based out of the Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale areas of Florida. It also had hubs in Tampa and Orlando, but filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy late last year.
At the time, Silver said that it believed filing for bankruptcy would allow the company to raise funding and remain competitive with other businesses.
Silver served more than a dozen destinations and also operated a subsidiary airline called Seaborne that sent seaplanes to islands like St. Croix and St. Thomas.
The cancellations and abrupt end for the company are just another example of poor fortune for a beleaguered airline industry. Several airlines have dealt with delays and cancellations amid air traffic control shortage, while others are navigating a drop in customer sentiment.
United Airlines apologized to passengers after severe issues related to meals last month, citing "significant disruptions to its in-flight food and beverage service" after switching to a new catering company.
Tragic accidents out of major American cities like Washington and Philadelphia have also eroded trust in the safety of air travel this year.
We'll see if and when Silver is able to bounce back from Wednesday's termination of service, and whether or not their former passengers will be able to reach their destinations.

Anteris Technologies Global (ASX:AVR) investors are sitting on a loss of 66% if they invested three years ago
If you are building a properly diversified stock portfolio, the chances are some of your picks will perform badly. Long term Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (ASX:AVR) shareholders know that all too well, since the share price is down considerably over three years. Regrettably, they have had to cope with a 66% drop in the share price over that period. And more recent buyers are having a tough time too, with a drop of 62% in the last year. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 35% in the last three months. So let's have a look and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Anteris Technologies Global isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit. In the last three years Anteris Technologies Global saw its revenue shrink by 24% per year. That means its revenue trend is very weak compared to other loss making companies. Arguably, the market has responded appropriately to this business performance by sending the share price down 18% (annualized) in the same time period. Bagholders or 'baggies' are people who buy more of a stock as the price collapses. They are then left 'holding the bag' if the shares turn out to be worthless. After losing money on a declining business with falling stock price, we always consider whether eager bagholders are still offering us a reasonable exit price. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). Balance sheet strength is crucial. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time. While the broader market gained around 14% in the last year, Anteris Technologies Global shareholders lost 62%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 8% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 5 warning signs for Anteris Technologies Global (3 don't sit too well with us) that you should be aware of. If you are like me, then you will not want to miss this free list of undervalued small caps that insiders are buying.

Thrifting interest explodes for Americans worried about rising clothing prices and waste
Young Americans are embracing thrifting as a way to save and stand out St. Petersburg, Florida — Brooklyn Karasack loves to thrift and sew. She thrifts in her hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida, and then uses her grandmother's sewing machine to whip up her fantastical creations. "This is probably $3 or something like that," Karasack told CBS News, referring to an old pillowcase she turned into a tote bag as an example of her work. Her creativity has paid off. The 28-year-old, who works as an auditor during the day, has more than 800,000 online followers, who watch her take her thrift store finds on her social accounts and turn the old items into new ideas. Karasack said she got into thrifting and sewing after deciding to stop buying fast fashion. Fast fashion, a term for low-priced, trendy clothes made by companies like H&M, Forever 21 and others, has become a big contributor to textile waste, producing 92 million tons a year, according to Global Fashion Agenda's Pulse of the Fashion Industry report. A piece of clothing is worn only seven to ten times, on average, before being thrown out, according to Uniform Market. She said that after she started thrifting, she hasn't "bought anything fast fashion." Karasack isn't alone in turning toward thrifting. With a trade war underway, Americans worried about costs have flocked to the used clothing market. Thrifting is an easy way to avoid tariffs, with prices generally 50% to 75% off of retail. The secondhand market is expected to more than double by 2028, growing 6.4 times faster than the broader retail sector, according to a 2024 resale report from Thredup, an online thrift store. Small businesses are also jumping on the trend — Sew Pinellas offers beginner sewing classes for DIYers of all ages. They've been full since they began last year. Sewing jumps in popularity during economic slowdowns, data from Statista shows that 26% of 18- to 29-year-olds engage in some form of sewing activity. Kristen Hester, who manages Out Of The Closet, a thrift store with 24 locations, says customers now expect thrift stores to offer more. Customers used to think of thrifting happening in a charity shop where everything is thrown around and they had to dig through dirty bins. Hester grew up thrifting with her mom and likens it to a treasure hunt, but notes back then it wasn't as popular as it is today. "Thrift stores had stuff that the regular retail stores just didn't have," Hester said. "...You think of a small little charity shop, where maybe everything is thrown around; you have to dig through dirty bins." The 38-year-old says that her store is "more of a curated, boutique experience." Out of The Closet, like many secondhand shops, is mission-driven. When you shop or donate at Out of the Closet, 96 cents of every dollar made goes to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation's HIV prevention and treatment services, the shop said. She adds, "It really has created this really cool kind of niche community where everybody is just so accepting. Everybody's in the same mindset. Everyone is happy to be there."
