The Airport Master Plan for Myrtle Beach International Airport outlines a strategy for airport development and improvements over a 20-year timeframe, from 2018 to 2038. It encompasses an existing conditions inventory, aviation activity forecasts, facility requirements, alternatives analysis, and an implementation plan. Key focus areas include addressing capacity challenges in terminal operations, landside development, airfield infrastructure, general aviation facilities, and support services. The plan also integrates environmental considerations and sustainability initiatives, with goals to reduce water and energy consumption, improve surface transportation, incorporate sustainable business practices, and enhance community engagement. The overall vision is to ensure new facilities are appropriately sized for future growth, improve customer experience, and enhance operational efficiency.
