Operating constraints
Myrtle Beach International has published operating constraints in three categories: access, pavement strength and other notes.
When the airport traffic control tower is closed, the MALSR approach lighting system on runway 18 and the MALSF system on runway 36 are activated, along with the high-intensity runway lights on runway 18/36, which are controlled via CTAF.
Approval is required for pushback at terminal gates A9, A10, A11, A12, and A14; contact MYR ground control on 120.3. Pushback is at pilot discretion at all other gates. Aircraft must remain clear of taxiways during pushback.
Pilots conducting enhanced flight vision system operations should be aware that LED approach lighting systems are in use on runway 18 and runway 36.
Sightseeing helicopters operate in close proximity to the airport and runway at or below 1200 feet. Helicopters departing and arriving use a pad located 700 feet southeast of the runway 36 approach end. Helicopter routes and holding points remain clear of the runway.

Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KMYR?
Yes, Myrtle Beach International provides CBP inspection services onsite. Arriving international flights can clear customs directly at KMYR without diverting to another facility. The airport is towered and staffed with an attendance schedule of 0600 to 2100 daily. Dispatchers planning international arrivals outside those hours should coordinate in advance with airport operations. This onsite customs capability makes KMYR a practical port of entry for business aviation along the South Carolina coast.
What is the runway length at Myrtle Beach International?
Myrtle Beach International has a single runway, 18/36, measuring 9,503 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is also the airport's maximum paved runway length, giving operators of large business jets and midsize airliners ample margin for takeoff and landing performance planning. The runway pavement carries a PCR value of 302/F / A/X / T. With only one runway serving the field, crosswind conditions and single-runway traffic flow are relevant factors for scheduling at KMYR.
What pushback procedures apply at KMYR terminal gates?
At Myrtle Beach International, pushback approval is required specifically for terminal gates A9, A10, A11, A12, and A14, and crews must contact MYR ground control on 120.3 before pushing. At all other gates, pushback is left to pilot discretion. In every case, aircraft must remain clear of taxiways during the pushback sequence. This gate-specific rule is worth briefing in advance for crews unfamiliar with KMYR's terminal ramp layout.
Are there wildlife or helicopter hazards to know about at KMYR?
Myrtle Beach International reports gulls on and in the vicinity of the airport, a standing wildlife hazard for arriving and departing crews. Separately, sightseeing helicopters operate in close proximity to the airport and runway at or below 1200 feet, with a helicopter pad located 700 feet southeast of the runway 36 approach end. Helicopter routes and holding points are kept clear of the runway itself. Crews at KMYR should factor both bird activity and nearby low-altitude helicopter traffic into approach and departure planning.
When is KMYR's business aviation traffic busiest?
Business aviation traffic at Myrtle Beach International is concentrated in the spring and early summer months, with April, May, and June each recording more than 700 operations according to FAA TFMSC data. Activity tapers through the fall and reaches its lowest point in January. This seasonal pattern is relevant for dispatchers scheduling ramp space, fuel uplift, or ground handling resources at KMYR during peak months. Planning around this concentration can help avoid congestion during the busiest weeks of the year.
