“We’re excited to celebrate Allegiant Airlines’ continued commitment to our airport and community by adding three exciting new routes,” Director of Airports Judy Olmstead said. “Allegiant has been an exceptional airline partner for many years, consistently providing convenient and affordable travel options for our customers. These new routes will provide better access between the Grand Strand and underserved regions in Michigan, upstate New York, and Canada, with high demand for nonstop flights. We look forward to welcoming even more passengers on Allegiant this summer.”

Spirit Airlines’ declaration of bankruptcy came a mere day prior to this.

Tourists visiting the Myrtle Beach area have received a boost with the positive update from Allegiant Air. Many locals and tourists are concerned about Spirit Airlines and what it will mean for travel in and out of the Myrtle Beach airport.
