Spirit Airlines Adds Non-Stop Service From Myrtle Beach to Boston

Spirit Airlines announces new service from Myrtle Beach to Boston's Logan International Airport. Service starts August 15, 2006.

"We're ecstatic to give Myrtle Beach more Spirit!" said Barry Biffle, Chief Marketing Officer of Spirit Airlines. "Area customers have been asking for more Spirit service from Myrtle Beach and we're delighted to offer Boston as our next destination. Boston is a perfect getaway for leisure and business travelers alike. This service will be just in time for leaf-peepers."

"We welcome the announcement of Spirit Airlines' new daily service between Myrtle Beach and Boston and the New England area, as well as their expanded service to both the New York and New Jersey markets," said Robert Kemp, Director of the Myrtle Beach International Airport. "Not only is Myrtle Beach a major tourist destination for residents in these three regions of the country, but also all three areas are very popular destinations for Carolina residents. Spirit's decision to increase daily flight activity at MYR will offer regional residents additional opportunities to obtain affordable flights. It also underscores the fact that the Myrtle Beach International Airport is well located to support the air service enhancements needed to sustain strong economic growth in this region of the Carolinas."

This new service will be flown with Spirit Airbus A319 aircraft holding 138 passengers with 8 in Spirit Plus Business Class and 130 in comfortable coach class. Spirit will complete its transition to an all-new Airbus fleet by this fall and have the youngest fleet in the industry.
