Breeze Airways will fly from Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (EWN) to Orlando, Florida, and Hartford, Connecticut. Flights are scheduled to commence on May 24th, with a frequency of two weekly flights to each destination.
New Bern, North Carolina, becomes the airline’s 50th market, offering a combination of over 150 annual and seasonal non-stop routes across 27 states.
Andrew Shorter, Director of EWN Airport, expressed: «Breeze Airways opens up new and exciting opportunities for the region by providing direct and easy access to some of our key markets. We are proud to partner with a growing airline and would like to thank all our community partners who helped make this possible«.
Tom Doxey, President of Breeze Airways, noted: «Breeze is not yet three years old, but we’re already announcing our 50th city on our national route map. Breeze aims to connect underserved markets and existing non-stop city pairs. Now, guests from New Bern, our fifth destination in the Carolinas, can enjoy affordable and convenient service to Connecticut and Florida«.
The new routes will be operated with Airbus A220-300 aircraft, accommodating 137 passengers. This expansion has been made possible through collaboration between Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, Craven County Government, Craven 100 Alliance (C1A), and Craven County Tourism Development Authority.
David Neeleman, CEO and founder of Breeze, stated: «Since we began flying in May 2021, Breeze has continued to add desirable destinations to our rapidly growing footprint. This new addition is sure to be well received as we bring efficient, affordable, and elevated travel to underserved markets«.
