"Following Spirit Airlines’ announcement that it has ceased operations across the country, including at Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR), Visit Myrtle Beach is working closely with MYR and community leaders to address the impact this has on our region, including supporting affected employees and travelers.

The greater Myrtle Beach region is resilient, and our goal is to keep Myrtle Beach accessible and affordable for visitors as well as provide a prosperous quality of life for residents."
