The budget airline Breeze is launching a new nonstop route from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach this summer.

Breeze announced on Tuesday that its new route will fly from Pittsburgh to the popular summer vacation spot in South Carolina on Mondays and Fridays, starting July 3. 

“We are excited to now offer Myrtle Beach as a destination for our Pittsburgh Guests,” David Neeleman, the founder and CEO of Breeze Airways, said in a news release. “This new nonstop gives travelers an easy and affordable way to enjoy one of the East Coast’s most popular beach destinations.”  

The airport says Breeze is the fourth carrier to offer nonstop service to Myrtle Beach, joining Allegiant Air, Southwest and Spirit Airlines. By airline count, that makes Myrtle Beach one of the airport’s busiest nonstop markets. 

It comes after Breeze last month announced that it would launch twice-weekly seasonal nonstop service between Pittsburgh and Louisville this spring. Breeze now has 15 nonstop destinations from Pittsburgh, putting it behind only Southwest, which has 21. 

The flight from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach is about two hours, saving families from a day of driving, the airport says. 

“Myrtle Beach continues to be a popular destination for Pittsburghers and this flight offers people in our region more nonstop options to get there,” Bryan Dietz, the airport’s senior vice president of air service and commercial development, said in a news release. 

Service will be operated with a 137-seat Airbus A220-300 aircraft. It will leave from Pittsburgh at 12:17 p.m., arriving at Myrtle Beach at 1:51 p.m. The inbound flight will leave Myrtle Beach at 10 a.m. and get into Pittsburgh at 11:37 a.m. 

A man is dead after a fire in Washington County on Monday morning, the coroner said.

The Washington County Coroner’s Office said 66-year-old George Milliken died after a structure fire on Smith Street in Charleroi.

According to the coroner’s office, a neighbor reported the fire to 911 around 8:30 a.m. Milliken was found inside and was taken to the Penn Highlands Monongahela Valley Hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 9:45 a.m., the coroner said.  

His cause of death is pending an investigation, and his manner of death is pending an autopsy. 

Fire departments from Charleroi, Bentleyville and Fallowfield helped at the scene. Rostraver EMS responded as well, the coroner’s office said.

No other information was released on Monday. The Pennsylvania State Police fire marshal is investigating. The cause of the fire wasn’t released.
