Spirit adds a new nonstop flight to Northeast city, starting summer 2022
Spirit will begin offering a nonstop flight from Myrtle Beach International Airport to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in April 2022, the airport announced Friday.
The daily nonstop service will start April 20, 2022.
“New nonstop service to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is exciting news for both our local population and visitors. Demand for travel to/from the Grand Strand and markets throughout New England has continued to improve over the years and this new nonstop route will help meet that growing demand,” director of airports Scott Van Moppes said in a press release.
Spirit is one of the oldest carriers serving MYR, having just celebrated its 25th anniversary there in June. It provides more flights to and from the one-terminal airport than any other airline. For the first half of this year, Spirit made up 49% of all passengers traveling through MYR.
In August hundreds of flights out of Myrtle Beach were canceled as the carrier struggled with staffing shortages, weather issues and undisclosed operational challenges. The airline has since resumed normal service out of Myrtle Beach.
