Regional carrier Silver Airways says it's shutting down operations
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — Regional carrier Silver Airways announced Wednesday it is shutting down operations after a failed attempt at restructuring through bankruptcy, leaving some passengers stranded at airports in Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
'Please do not go to the airport,' the Hollywood, Florida-based company posted on its website.
The statement said Silver had sold its assets through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding to a holding company that 'unfortunately has determined to not continue Silver's flight operations' that served five Florida cities and 11 island destinations.
Passengers can seek refunds through their credit card issuer or travel agency, the Silver statement said.
Silver's fleet had been reduced to just eight ATR turboprop planes and its workforce cut from 608 to 348 pilots, flight attendants and ground workers, according to the company. An email to employees from Silver's CEO said most of those jobs will be eliminated.
Silver Airways began operations in 2011 and once served 28 destinations. A subsidiary based in Puerto Rico, Seaborne Airlines, will continue to operate in the Caribbean.

Wytrwal Industries Celebrates 250 years of the U.S. Army
Veteran owned defense contractor honors the long history of the world's best Army MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, June 14, 2025 / / -- Wytrwal Industries Holding Company, LLC ('Wytrwal') is honored to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Army – the most powerful, professional, and successful Army in the history of the world. The Continental Congress of the newly formed United States authorized the creation of the Army from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on this date, 250 years ago. Freedom isn't free, and the U.S. Army has paid the price in full for centuries. 'It is an honor to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army on this stunning Saturday in South Florida. The history of our Army is full of challenges and victories from the battlefields of Saratoga, Bennington, Ticonderoga, Oriskany and other sites of the American Revolution against the King of England, to the Civil War, to rescuing Europe, Africa, China, and the rest of the globe in World War II, to defeating al-Qaeda and liberating Iraq from Saddam Hussein and the Ba'ath Party during the Global War on Terrorism,' commented Edmund L. Luzine, Jr., the Founder and CEO of Wytrwal Industries, and a former U.S. Army intelligence officer. 'It was a tremendous experience to serve the citizens of America as an Army officer during peace and war, here in America and overseas. My deployments to the Former Republics of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and service from Germany to China, and from the border with Mexico and Arizona to running the Army's pre- Palantir intelligence system in Virginia, to my last assignment serving as a China Country Director to the Chairman in the Pentagon, were fascinating adventures. It was a magnificent honor to serve with some of the greatest Americans in the history of our nation,' Luzine added. Wytrwal Industries wishes a very Happy Birthday to both the United States Army and President Donald J. Trump, the Commander in Chief, today, 14 June 2025.

Chick-fil-A quietly rolls out secret sandwiches that most Americans can't get
Chick-fil-A has quietly added two new sandwiches to its menu – but they're only available to customers in certain cities. The two new sandwiches are the Creamy BBQ Chicken Sandwich and the Jalapeño Ranch Club Chicken Sandwich. The Creamy BBQ Chicken Sandwich is served "on a toasted, buttery bun with Creamy BBQ Slaw and sweet heat pickle chips," according to the company's website. "It pairs well with Creamy BBQ Sauce on the side," the site adds. The sandwich can also be made with spicy fillets or grilled chicken. It's only available at participating restaurants in Jacksonville, Florida, from June 9 to July 19. Meanwhile, the Jalapeño Ranch Club Chicken Sandwich is served on "a toasted buttermilk ranch bun, [with] pepper jack cheese." The sandwich also features "strips of caramelized onion-flavored candied bacon, lettuce, tomato and pickled jalapeños." The signature chicken fillet can also be swapped with grilled chicken or a spicy fillet. "It pairs well with a side of Jalapeño Ranch Sauce for an extra kick of flavor," Chick-fil-A advises. The Jalapeño Ranch Club Chicken Sandwich is only available at participating Salt Lake City, Utah, restaurants through July 19. A community of Chick-fil-A fans reacted to the new releases in a Reddit thread earlier this week. "Really don't need to do a test on these, I'm going to buy them and often," the top comment read. "I need these in my life," another person chimed in. Another user questioned the creamy barbecue sauce. "I've never heard of a bbq sauce described as creamy," the person wrote. "Smokey, tangy, sweet, spicy. These are bbq sauces. I'm confused." Fox News Digital reached out to Chick-fil-A for additional comment.
