The launch of the new service will coincide with the opening of Silver Airways\u2019 new maintenance facility in Gainesville.\u00a0 In January 2012, the airline announced its intention to relocate its maintenance department from its home base in Fort Lauderdale to a new, state-of-the-art 61,000 square-foot facility at Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV).\u00a0 The move will be completed by April 2012.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new service better connects the Gainesville community with the world,\u201d said Darrell Richardson, CEO of Silver Airways.\u00a0 \u201cOur codeshare agreement with United\/Continental will enable travelers from Gainesville to connect seamlessly in Orlando and Tampa to non-stop flights covering much of the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe.\u00a0 You\u2019ll only need to check your bags once, and you won\u2019t need multiple tickets either.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silver Airways will operate both 19-seat Beechcraft 1900D and 34-seat Saab 340Bplus aircraft on its new Gainesville service.\u00a0 The Saab 340Bplus represents the most advanced turboprop aircraft-type in service today with an active noise reduction system and class-leading fuel-economy combining with comfortable seating, large, easy-to-access overhead bins, and convenient on-board lavatories to provide an exceptional in-flight passenger experience.\u00a0 Silver Airways is currently in the process of upgrading its fleet to the Saab 340Bplus with six of the advanced aircraft-type to be in service along its Florida and Bahamas routes later this year.<\/p>\n
Special introductory fares of $49 each way on the new Gainesville service are available on bookings made by March 5, 2012.\u00a0 For Silver Airways reservations, visit www.continental.com.<\/p>\n
