“Silver Airways’ route network complements JetBlue’s network, providing our customers with greater access to destinations in Florida and the Bahamas, all while earning TrueBlue points,” says Robin Hayes, JetBlue Airways’ president.

These destinations include Key West, Pensacola, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Bimini, Grand Bahama (Freeport), the Eleutheras (Governor’s Harbour and North Eleuthera), the Abacos (Marsh Harbour and Treasure Cay), and Great Exuma (George Town).
Meanwhile, travelers from Silver’s destinations in Florida have easy interline access to JetBlue’s many destinations throughout the U.S., as well as cities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
Since launching its own silverairways.com website and stand-alone Sabre reservation system less than a year ago, Silver Airways has developed its portfolio of airline interline partnerships and now has such agreements in place with seven carriers.
Silver now has interline agreements with JetBlue, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, US Airways, Bahamasair, Hahn Air, and All Nippon Airways. Additionally, Silver Airways has a long-standing codeshare and frequent flyer partnership with United Airlines, dating from the regional carrier’s former existence as Gulfstream International Airlines.
