A new airline has committed to offer nonstop flights from the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport in New Bern.
Representatives from Breeze Airways and the New Bern airport, whose code is EWN, announced Tuesday plans to begin offering flights to Orlando, Florida, and Hartford, Connecticut. The flights are aboard the airline’s 137-seat Airbus A220, starting May 24. Fares are to start at $49 one-way, the company said.

The addition of Breeze Airways, which began flying in 2021, “creates a one-of-a-kind opportunity for EWN to offer the only nonstop, ‘Nice Low Cost Carrier’ flights in the region,” airport officials stated Tuesday.
Breeze President Tom Doxey stated that the company “seeks to connect underserved markets and city pairs without existing nonstops” and travelers from New Bern can “enjoy affordable and convenient new service to Connecticut and Florida.”
Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, Craven County Government, the Craven 100 Alliance and the Craven County Tourism Development Authority worked together on the project.
