FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Whether you’re a race fan, catching an MiLB Daytona Tortugas game or visiting the famed boardwalk and beaches, Silver Airways is expanding its already extensive Florida network making it even easier to visit the Sunshine State’s Atlantic Coast with new daily nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) starting January 16, 2019.
To affirm its commitment to the new service, Silver Airways has ‘inked’ a deal – with official commemorative livery featuring joint branding to be released soon – as the official airline of the MiLB’s Daytona Tortugas baseball team. There couldn’t be a more perfect match than the airline who offers the most routes within Florida and Florida’s State League’s Daytona Tortugas.
To celebrate the new nonstop service connecting Daytona Beach and South Florida, Silver is offering introductory fares from $59* available at silverairways.com for a limited time for travel on or before May 22, 2019, for ticketing before December 17, 2018.
In addition, Silver offers convenient connections from Daytona Beach beyond Fort Lauderdale to Key West and many popular Bahamian Family Islands, including Marsh Harbor and Treasure Cay in the Abacos, Cat Island, Eleuthera’s Governor’s Harbour and North Eleuthera, Freeport, and George Town in Great Exuma with every day low fares as low as $107*.
Silver also offers connections to a variety of destinations through its codeshare and interline ticketing partners, including United, JetBlue, American, Delta, Avianca, Azul Brazilian Airlines and more.
“As a Daytona-area resident, I can’t be more excited for Silver Airways to share all the riches our community has to offer,” said Silver Airways Senior Vice President Kurt Brulisauer. “A few of my country music favorites say it best. Whether it’s Daytona Beach on spring break, Coronas in Daytona on summer nights where it’s wild and it’s free, the tiki bar is open and there’s a full moon over Daytona Beach. Sweet iced tea and Jerry Lee in Daytona Beach, that's what gets to me, I can feel it in my bones. And of course remembering Number 3.”
“The addition of daily flights to Fort Lauderdale provides a new southbound option to another major U.S. Hub from Daytona Beach International Airport,” said Daytona Beach International Airport Director Rick Karl. “The non-stop link to and from South Florida offers the local community and visitors hundreds of new connecting opportunities served by Silver and their airline partners United, JetBlue, Avianca and Azul Brazilian Airlines.”
“Being a turtle, it used to take me years to get to Fort Lauderdale,” said Daytona Tortugas Mascot Shelldon. “Now, with Silver Airways as our official airline, I can get there in an hour.”
“New service between Fort Lauderdale and Daytona Beach is the perfect match, connecting two popular Florida destinations with one daily nonstop flight,” said Mark Gale, CEO/Director of Aviation for Broward County’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International.
