MILWAUKEE (February 23, 2022) – Spirit Airlines is adding Myrtle Beach to its growing list of destinations served nonstop from Milwaukee this summer. With low fares and a flight time of just over two hours, the new flights make it easy to enjoy South Carolina’s beachfront boardwalks and golf courses.
The summer seasonal service to/from Myrtle Beach will be offered twice per week (Fridays and Mondays) beginning May 27 and expand to three times per week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) beginning June 17. The service will continue through Labor Day weekend. The Myrtle Beach flights will be operated with modern Airbus A320 jets. Tickets are available for purchase now on spirit.com and the Spirit Airlines mobile app.
“These new flights are a fast and reliable way to enjoy a family vacation along the Atlantic seaboard,” Airport Director Brian Dranzik said. “With the addition of Myrtle Beach, it’s clear that Spirit is responding to customer demand from Milwaukee. The more we all start and end our trips at MKE, the more air service we will see in the months and years to come.”
The new flights also give South Carolina residents the opportunity to travel to Milwaukee to enjoy Wisconsin’s world-class golf, festivals, sports, dining, and outdoor recreation.
Myrtle Beach is the ninth nonstop destination for Spirit from MKE. The airline launched its Milwaukee service in June of last year, with daily nonstop flights from MKE to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Orlando. By the end of 2021, Spirit was also flying nonstops from Milwaukee to Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Tampa, Phoenix, and Cancun.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
