Silver Airways, a regional carrier known for Florida and Bahamas flights, could lose its lease at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport due to non-payment of rent. The county commission will vote on the issue on Tuesday, with the incumbent leaseholder being behind on payments for years, despite negotiations with the county. As of December last year, the airline owed the aviation department almost $958,000 in fees and late payments, which accumulated after the county took its $113,634 security deposit. Additionally, the county wants Silver to pay over $407,000 to replenish its security deposit. Silver is yet to pay, and the amount due continues to grow. "Business is business," said County Mayor Lamar Fisher, adding that one needs to pay the bills. The aviation company is requesting a negotiated resolution to the matter. The lease termination could mean trouble for Silver Airways, which has more than 300 workers in Broward County, despite having flight operations continue as normal at the airport.
