Silver Airways unexpectedly cancels all flights out of Florida airport: report
ORLANDO, Fla. (WFLA) — Passengers flying out of Orlando International Airport (MCO) over the weekend were left stranded after Silver Airways suddenly canceled all of its flights, according to a report from NBC affiliate WESH.
A statement obtained from MCO's Senior Vice President of Public Affairs and Community Relations Angela Starke read:
'We received notification yesterday afternoon that, effective immediately, all departing and arriving flights with Silver Airlines are canceled.'
It is unclear what was behind the sudden cancellations.

The unexpected move comes just two months after the airline issued an open letter to its customers, announcing they voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Silver Airways affirmed to its customers that all flight tickets remain valid and that they remain under normal operations.
'We anticipate completing this process by the first quarter of 2025, emerging stronger and ready to continue serving you with the same dedication we've upheld for over 13 years,' they said in the release on Dec. 30.
The airline added that the decision will allow them to undergo a financial restructuring they hope will strengthen the company and benefit its passengers.

Rite Aid store closures update: List of doomed locations keeps growing, now includes more than a third of all stores
As it prepares to sell off its remaining assets in the wake of a second bankruptcy filing, Rite Aid continues to move aggressively to close pharmacy locations that it no longer deems viable. This company asked most corporate employees to relocate to Chicago. The majority declined Trump administration orders Pennsylvania power plant to run through the summer Redfin: These 31 major housing markets have shifted to buyer's markets The drugstore chain, which has already found buyers for most of its prescription business, has added another 111 retail drugstores to its rapidly growing list of doomed locations, a court filing revealed last week. The list includes pharmacies across 12 states, with California and New York being hit the hardest. Interested parties have until June 9 to object. Fast Company has reached out to Rite Aid to ask about the timeline of the closures. With this latest list, the pharmacy chain has now marked more than 470 stores for closure since the Chapter 11 process began about a month ago, comprising more than a third of Rite Aid's total fleet of 1,277 locations. The May 30 filing is its fourth notice of additional closures. Previous waves of closures were disclosed in earlier filings: May 5: 47 initial locations May 9: 68 additional locations May 16: 95 additional locations May 23: 151 additional locations Rite Aid had initially scrambled to sell off its prescription files amid concerns that a mass exodus of customers would diminish the value of its pharmacy assets. It quickly announced deals with CVS, Walgreens, Albertsons, and others. For most customers, that means their prescriptions will be transferred to an entirely different pharmacy and location. But only a handful of physical retail stores were included in those announcements, and the exact locations of those stores have yet to be released—leading to further uncertainty for Rite Aid customers and employees. Now time is running out for companies that may be interested in taking over additional Rite Aid locations before they close for good. Any such company was required to indicate its interest by last Friday. Bid submissions are due on June 18, with an auction planned for June 24 if necessary. In addition to physical stores, Rite Aid's remaining assets include the Thrifty ice cream brand, which is sold by third-party retailers in addition to being available at counters in many Rite Aid locations.

Major healthcare business files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
Biotechnology companies often encounter common challenges of long timelines for developing their products, the high costs associated with creating their innovations, and regulatory problems that must be solved to bring their inventions to market. Companies will amass huge amounts of debt over the years that's needed to develop medical devices, drugs, and other products, which can lead to financial distress and sometimes bankruptcy filings. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Over a 12-year period from 2011 through 2022, biotech firms filed fewer than 10 bankruptcies each year, but that changed beginning in 2023. Related: Key healthcare company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Biotech firms filed 14 cases in 2023, which was the highest number since 2010, when 14 firms filed for bankruptcy. Companies filed 13 petitions in 2024. Economic issues common to all businesses, such as rising costs of labor and products driven by inflation and rising inflation, played a role in distress over the last two years. AmplifyBio, which develops next-generation vaccines, medicine, and therapeutics, filed for Chapter 11 protection on May 17, 2025, seeking to sell all of its assets and liquidate through the bankruptcy process. The debtor's largest creditors included certain shareholders, including Battelle Services Co., owed $3.25 million; Battelle Memorial Institute, owed $1.89 million; and Kavra 14 LLC, owed $1.8 million. Distressed biotechnology company Synthego Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 5, seeking to sell its assets to its prepetition lender Perceptive Credit Holdings III L.P. in a bankruptcy sale with a stalking-horse bid calling for a credit bid of $74.4 million of debt owed to the lender, as well as a $12.5 million DIP financing. Austin, Texas-based biotechnology company Molecular Templates Inc., which develops cancer treatment drugs, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 20, 2025, with plans to hand its assets to its secured lender as part of a restructuring support agreement.

Capture Collective was unable to resolve the contract disputes with claimants after the Covid-19 testing business ended. The company said high litigation costs had exhausted all of its remaining capital resources and made it impossible for the company to obtain new venture capital, according to information provided by RK Consultants. All litigation filed against Capture Collective and its affiliates is subject to an automatic stay while the bankruptcy case proceeds. Capture Collective is developing the radiation biodosimetry diagnostic test, MiRAD, a high-throughput, microRNA biomarker-based biodosimetry assay, which enables individualized clinical biomarker quantification in direct correlation with radiation exposure.

Dozens of Breakthru Beverage truck drivers go on strike in Tampa and across the state
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Teamsters went on strike to protest what they said are unfair labor practices at Breakthru Beverage's in Tampa. It's a part of a statewide work stoppage that will also impact the company's operations in places like Fort Myers, Orlando and Tallahassee. From early Tuesday morning through the afternoon, workers were chanting that they are Teamsters and what they want is a fair contract. 'All they really want is a fair day's work for a fair day's pay,' said Brandon Sosnoff, with Teamsters Local 79. 'I've been a driver for the company for the past 10 years, and all they've done is just take stuff from us. That's all they've done in the past. Many, many years, and it's time for us to put a stop on it,' said Yuniel Sancillena, who has been a driver for a decade. Everyone at the union is on strike to demand higher wages as well as better benefits and working conditions. Those behind the wheel said they will protest until they get what they deserve. 'They're laughing at us, and we're going to continue out here, as long as it takes, as long as we've got to be out for, we're going to be out here fighting for what we deserve. Truck drivers deserve better than what they do to us,' Sancillena said. Breakthru is one of the largest alcohol beverage wholesalers in the country, operating in 15 states and Canada. When the drivers got to the negotiating table, they said they were left disappointed. 'The company dropped their last, best, and final offer on us. Essentially, it was just a wage cut. Not increasing health insurance, no retirement benefits. It was just a slap in the face to these drivers, and they said we've got to hit the streets,' Sosnoff said. The drivers said if the strike continues, ramifications will be felt locally and throughout the state. 8 On Your Side's Alessandra Young asked those on strike what the worst-case scenario might be for consumers if the strike continues. 'This is definitely going to be a huge impact when it comes to customers and businesses, they are going to need the product. Obviously, they don't have the manpower to get the product out. Every single driver is going to be out here, no one is going in to move those trucks, unless we get a better contract, and they're going to feel it,' Sancillena said. 'It is going to have a huge impact, because they got a lot of trucks that have got to go out and a lot of products that have to go out and there are many customers that will be waiting on product.' The drivers said they will be out on strike for as long as it takes for them to get the contract they want to see. 8 On Your Side reached out to Breakthru Beverage for a response. 'While we respect the rights of our associates, we are disappointed that our Northern Florida drivers, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, have initiated a strike,' the company wrote in a statement. 'We have contingency plans in place to ensure minimal disruption to the business. We hope to reach a resolution soon and are committed to maintaining an open and transparent dialog with the union. We value all our hard-working associates and always strive to provide them with competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a positive work environment,' Breakthru wrote.
