TAMPA, FL – Sunshine Skyways today announced that it has filed for bankruptcy protection and is undertaking an immediate and decisive restructuring of its operations. This difficult but necessary step is designed to create a more efficient and financially sound airline poised for long-term stability.

To achieve this, the company will streamline its network to focus on its most profitable, high-demand daytime routes. As part of this consolidation, service to several lower-performing destinations will be suspended, and the aircraft associated with these routes will be sold.

Furthermore, all overnight "red-eye" flights will be ceased indefinitely as the airline realigns its schedule to better serve the needs of its core business and leisure travelers.

"This is a challenging day for the Sunshine Skyways family, but this strategic reorganization is essential for our survival and future success," said the CEO. "By focusing our resources on the routes our customers value most, we can build a stronger, more resilient airline. We are confident that these changes will allow us to emerge from this process ready to continue serving the Sunshine State for years to come."

Sunshine Skyways is committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for its customers and employees. Core services connecting Tampa to popular destinations will continue with the dedication and Floridian hospitality our passengers have come to expect.
