Spirit Airlines says it’s adding new direct flights from Myrtle Beach.
The airline plans to add new flights to Washington, D.C. and additional flights to New York and Florida.
Myrtle Beach International Airport lost a number of flights last month when Direct Airlines suspended service and filed for bankruptcy.
The Myrtle Beach Sun News reports Spirit will add the flights beginning in June.
The airline will also increase its existing service to Niagara Falls and Plattsburgh in upstate New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
An airport spokesperson says the new flights will help counter the loss of service from Direct Airlines.
Spirit carries about half the passengers who travel from Myrtle Beach.
