A global internet outage is responsible for halting Myrtle Beach International Airport traffic on Friday morning, according to spokesman Ryan Betcher.

This outage has resulted in various arriving and departing flights out of the airport getting delayed or canceled, Betcher said.

“As the morning progresses, flight operations are beginning too resume with some of the affected airlines, but lingering impacts are likely to continue throughout the day,” he said via email. “Travelers flying out of MYR today are strongly encouraged to check their respective airline’s website or mobile app for any changes or updates to their flight status prior to arriving at the airport, and impacted travelers should contact their airline directly for itinerary changes or rebooking.”

As of 9 a.m. Friday morning, the Myrtle Beach Airport website showed that 10 of the 66 flights scheduled to depart were delayed, and 4 were canceled.

The arrivals site for Friday showed that 14 incoming flights had been delayed and four had been canceled out of the 68 flights listed.

Betcher said the number of cancellations and delays will likely change throughout the day.
