“2022 was a great year for the Myrtle Beach International Airport," said Judi Olmstead, Assistant Director of Airports. "3.5M travelers speaks volumes to the success of the airport and the destination. Our population base continues to expand and the airport saw more residents than ever utilizing the airport, which is why the airport remains committed to promoting the region to foster new air service options while maintaining existing service levels. With the added growth comes the need for improvements, and customers can look forward to the completion of a parking expansion project and the continued planning and design for a modest terminal expansion. We look forward to building upon another successful year and the ability to make MYR the best possible airport for our travelers."
