Myrtle Beach based Direct Air has canceled all flights with no answer on when they will resume service. According to the Sun News, Myrtle Beach Airport Manager Mike LaPier states that the flights were cancelled due to a fueling issue – the exact nature of that issue has not been released.
Direct Air is not a scheduled air carrier such as US Airways or Delta Air Lines, but instead leases aircraft to charter airlines. It is classified as a “virtual airline”, having no fleet of its own and outsourcing every possible operational function it can while still maintaining control of its own business. Current operators of Direct Air’s flights include Xtra Airways, Word Atlantic Airlines, Sky King, and USA Jet.
Direct Air “flies” to 17 destinations, which includes:
• Allentown, PA
• Columbus, OH
• Ft. Myers, FL
• Gulfport, MS
• Kalamazoo, MI
• Myrtle Beach, SC (HUB)
• Newark, NJ
• Niagra Falls, NY
• Orlando, FL (Sanford)
• Lakeland, FL
• Pittsburg, PA
• Plattsburgh, NY
• Chicago, IL
• Springfield, IL
• Toledo, OH
• Worchester, MA
• West Palm Beach, FL
Direct Air’s “fleet” consists of the following:
• Three Boeing 737-400’s, two owned and operated by Xtra Airways and one owned and operated by Sky King.
• Two McDonnell Douglas MD-80’s, owned and operated by World Atlantic Airlines.
When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.Flights to Harare
