Fort Lauderdale, Fla., 2019-Jan-23 — /Travel PR News/ — Whether you’re visiting Daytona Beach to catch a Tortugas game, the speed and excitement of the Daytona International Speedway, the Ponce Inlet lighthouse and the beautiful sea turtles of New Smyrna Beach, or traveling with Silver and its partners to South Florida, the Keys, the family islands of The Bahamas, or beyond, Silver Airways can take you there with safe, reliable and affordable customer-friendly service.

Silver Airways today started new daily nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB).

“We are extremely excited to launch this unique partnership with the ‘best of the best’ in Daytona and the surrounding communities along the Atlantic Coast,” said Silver Airways CEO Steve Rossum. “Our new partners here share our love of Central Florida and her beauty and have a kindred spirit of innovation, customer service and civic involvement. With the combination of Florida’s most convenient airport, the heart and soul of the Daytona Tortugas, and Silver Airways, North America’s premier regional airline, the possibilities in Daytona are limitless. What an amazing job by our 600 hardworking aviation professionals who will grow to love Daytona and her charm. We thank the community for a gracious and warm welcome and look forward to serving Volusians and visitors to Central Florida for years to come.”

“DAB is excited to welcome Silver Airways to our community,” said Daytona Beach International Airport Director Rick Karl. “Since the initial announcement we have received tremendous feedback for the new service to South Florida and beyond. We look forward to a very successful and mutually beneficial partnership with Silver.”

“The passion and energy that ‘Tortuga One’ and Silver Airways are bringing to our community is unmatched,” said Daytona Tortugas President Ryan Keur. “We believe the sky is the limit when it comes to this partnership and are thrilled to have gained a partner that shares many of the same principles in regard to innovation, customer service and community.”

During the reveal, Tortuga mascots Shelldon and Shelly joined forces with Silver team members as they showed their strength while pulling the Saab 340 from Silver’s Orlando maintenance hangar. The new livery of the Saab 340 aircraft features colorful joint branding, including a fierce tortuga at bat, the iconic Silver Airlines turbine and the Atlantic Coast airport. View the six-week transformation of “Tortuga One” carried out by more than 20 of Silver’s technical operations team members at Silver’s Facebook page.

Also today, Daytona Tortugas Mascot Shelldon confirmed rumors circulating earlier this week about his proposal to Shelly, saying: “Yes, I’m happy to report that Shelly said yes! While we haven’t set a date for our nuptials yet, we can’t wait for our island-hopping ‘shellabration’ honeymoon in Fort Lauderdale, Key West and The Bahamas!”
