Silver Airways begins ATR 42-600 flights
Silver Airways has begun flying its new ATR 42-600 aircraft within Florida, the first step in its plan to replace its fleet of Saab 340Bs and expand its network. The Fort Lauderdale-based regional carrier operated the first revenue flight between its base and Key West April 22. “The new ATR 600 series aircraft will be transformational for Silver Airways and is ideal for our short-haul domestic and nearby international operations,” says Steve Rossum, CE of Silver and Seaborne Airlines. ATR has delivered 3 ATR 42-600s to Silver with another 5 due this year, the airline says. Silver also plans to take up to 3 ATR 72-600s in 2019 pending regulatory approval. The carrier has commitments to purchase up to 50 ATR turboprops. It plans to eventually replace its fleet of 21 Saab 340B turboprops with ATRs. <br/>
