## Description

Despite sitting beside one of the Carolinas' busiest holiday strips, Grand Strand Airport (CRE/KCRE) handles no airline or cargo traffic: it is a general-aviation field for North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, owned by Horry County and served by the FBO Beach Aviation Services. Its single asphalt runway 5/23 measures roughly 1,830 metres, enough for business jets but matched by no freight terminal, handling agent or cargo throughput. The field is a US airport of entry, so international general-aviation flights can clear customs here, which occasionally suits hand-carried courier consignments. Air cargo for the region moves through Myrtle Beach International (MYR) about 25 kilometres south or the larger Charleston (CHS) gateway with its seaport, while Wilmington (ILM) in North Carolina serves as the northern alternative. Heavier loads travel by truck on US-17 and Interstate 95, the corridor linking the coastal strip to inland distribution centres.
