“Horry County Department of Airports is excited that Elite Airways has selected Myrtle Beach International Airport as its next airport to offer service,” said Pat Apone, Director of Airports. “Elite Airway’s new nonstop service from Long Island MacArthur Airport to Myrtle Beach International Airport is a welcomed new route currently not served by any other carrier operating at the airport, and should be very popular to the traveling public.”
“We are excited to welcome Elite Airways to the Myrtle Beach market,” stated Brad Dean, president and CEO of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce. “As we prepare to celebrate National Travel & Tourism Week, Elite Airways’ announcement of new nonstop air service from Islip to Myrtle Beach provides us with even more options and ways to attract new visitors by providing easy and quick access to our beaches.”
“Myrtle Beach has been Long Island’s favorite golf destination for many years, and the addition of nonstop service from an easily accessible airport will make the Grand Strand even more appealing,” said Bill Golden, president of Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday. “We look forward to working with Elite Airways to bring Long Islanders to America’s best golf destination.”
“I am thrilled that the Town of Islip is entering into a partnership with Elite Airways”, said Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “The addition of Elite to the Long Island MacArthur Airport family will offer both residents and those living in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the opportunity to travel to some of the most desirable vacation destinations along the east coast, and do so from Long Island MacArthur Airport, the kinder, gentler airport.”
