Myrtle Beach International Airport

Myrtle Beach International Airport is located on the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. On March 22, 1975 an agreement was made for joint civilian-military aviation activities at the base. Airport construction began on the northeast side of the Air Force Base runway on July 19, 1975, and opened to commercial aviation in 1976. This replaced the commercial airport located in the Cresent Beach area of North Myrtle Beach, which became Grand Strand Airport (CRE) and now serves private and corporate aircraft with parking, refueling, and maintenance.
