“The additional service to Myrtle Beach is great news for Northeastern Pennsylvania business and leisure travelers,” stated Matt McGloin, AVP Board Chair. “The summer months will be great for our area’s beachgoers, and both September and October are great months for golfing in Myrtle Beach.”
“This new service shows what a great partnership that Breeze Airways and Team AVP have,” stated Lee Ann McDermott, AVP Board Vice Chair. “We thank our regional travelers for their overwhelming support of Breeze Airways at AVP.”
