New Nonstop Flights Coming to Myrtle Beach in April

Flying is about to get a little less cumbersome for some travelers with the addition of two new nonstop flights at Myrtle Beach International Airport.

Delta Airlines recently announced they are adding a daily nonstop flight to the Grand Strand area. Beginning April 12th, travelers will now be able to fly nonstop from Myrtle Beach International Airport to Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. 

According to Scott Van Moppes, director of airports, the nonstop flight is a great addition to the Myrtle Beach area. In a statement on the new addition, Scott Van Moppes said, “Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport is a global hub for Delta Airlines, and will provide passengers from the Grand Strand even more convenient options for traveling to Minneapolis/St. Paul, destinations across the United States and internationally. Delta has been an integral partner of the Myrtle Beach International Airport and our local community and we thank them for their continued support.”

Spirit Airlines also recently announced the addition of a nonstop flight from Myrtle Beach International Airport to Akron-Canton Airport in Ohio. The nonstop airline service will begin on April 15th but will only occur on Thursdays and Sundays.
