Introductory one-way fares between MYR and ILG start at $39*. Customers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Myrtle Beach – say hello to Avelo, again! This new route to the Wilmington / Philadelphia area exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing Avelo’s low fares, industry-leading reliability and caring service to Myrtle Beach travelers. Getting to the four-state Delaware Valley region is now easier than ever.”

Director of Airports at the Myrtle Beach International Airport Judi Olmstead said, “We are excited to announce the expansion of our partnership with Avelo and the addition of new nonstop flights to Wilmington, DE. These flights will undoubtedly be a great addition to our growing list of destinations and further enhance our commitment to providing convenient and affordable travel options for our passengers.
