Myrtle Beach International Airport (IATA: MYR, ICAO: KMYR) is a public airport located 3 miles (5 km) southwest of the city of Myrtle Beach in Horry County, South Carolina, USA.

Myrtle Beach International Airport is located on the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. On 22 March 1975 an agreement was made for joint civilian-military aviation activities at the base. Airport construction began on the northeast side of the Air Force Base runway on 19 July 1975, and opened to commercial aviation in 1976. This replaced the commercial airport located in the Crescent Beach area of North Myrtle Beach, which became Grand Strand Airport (CRE) and now serves private and corporate aircraft with parking, refueling, and maintenance.

On 20 April 1977 an agreement between the City of Myrtle Beach and the Department of Defense was signed which incorporated the area of Myrtle Beach International Airport into the city. Until 1993, both MYR and Myrtle Beach AFB jointly used the main runway. In 1993, the Air Force closed the base as a result of BRAC 1990. The runway and other portions of the former military flight line were then turned over to the Horry County Department of Airports.

The airport formerly served as a hub for Hooters Air before that airline's shutdown in 2006.

Myrtle Beach International Airport covers 3,795 acres and has one runway:

  • Runway 18/36: 9,503 x 150 ft. (2,897 x 46 m), Surface: Asphalt/Concrete
