2.) Altoona, Pennsylvania: This service between the Altoona-Blair County Airport (AOO) and Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) will offer travelers across Central Pennsylvania a faster and more convenient way to reach the South Carolina coast this summer.

"Contour's service to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) has been very well received in Blair County and the surrounding areas, with record enplanements in 2025. We believe that the new direct service to Myrtle Beach International Airport fills an important need and will find the same acceptance. We look forward to continuing to work with Contour to fulfill all the air travel needs of our community." 

Community leaders across the region also highlighted the positive impact the new seasonal service will bring to local travelers and tourism throughout Central Pennsylvania.
