(AP) -- TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Charter carrier Vision Airlines is ending its seasonal service between Toledo, Ohio, and Myrtle Beach, S.C., after less than a month because of poor ticket sales.

The carrier began flying from Toledo Express Airport on June 1 but said Thursday the route will be discontinued after June 29.

A statement from the port authority in Toledo indicated the service didn't generate enough sales to keep it going. Port authority spokeswoman Holly Kemler told The Blade newspaper she didn't know how many tickets had been sold and had no other information about Vision Airlines' decision.

She says the port authority spent about $36,000 on advertising to promote the service.

The Georgia-based, low-fare airline also offers service to Myrtle Beach from other parts of Ohio, including Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus.
