Porter Airlines Heats Up with Winter Service to Myrtle Beach

Porter Airlines has announced its winter schedule to Myrtle Beach, S.C., with up to four weekly roundtrip flights, making it easy to avoid the dropping Canadian temperatures by enjoying some fun in the sun.

Four weekly frequencies operate during peak season from March 1 through April 30, and service begins Feb. 16 with two weekly flights and concludes on May 21.

“As we are focused on further developing our Canadian air service market, the expansion of Porter’s winter service is great news.  We are happy to welcome the additional travelers this winter,” said Michael La Pier, A.A.E., Director of Airports, Myrtle Beach International Airport. 

“Porter Airlines’ return to the Myrtle Beach area reinforces potential growth of air service to Canadian visitors,” said Brad Dean, president and CEO of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce/CVB.  “This convenient and frequent service will not only support travel from Toronto but will provide hassle free connecting service to many other Canadian markets.”

Offering the only non-stop route between Canada and Myrtle Beach, Porter’s service also offers Canadians in many other cities a chance to enjoy this popular family destination, known for its award-winning golf courses and expansive beaches. Connecting markets include Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins and Windsor.

“Toronto is a great market for the Myrtle Beach golf community and the resumption of Porter Air’s non-stop service this February underscores its strength,” said Bill Golden, president of Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday. “The continued success of non-stop flights is vital to the area’s growth, and we look forward to Porter bringing golfers from Toronto and throughout Canada to the Grand Strand this winter and spring.”

This is Porter’s third year of service to Myrtle Beach.
