Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (IATA: EWN, ICAO: KEWN, FAA LID: EWN) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) southeast of central business district (CBD) of New Bern, a town in Craven County, North Carolina, USA.
Coastal Carolina Regional Airport serves four counties in Eastern North Carolina. They include Craven County, Pamlico County, Carteret County, and Jones County. The total population encachment area of the four counties as of the June 2004 census was 176,851. Coastal Carolina Regional Airport is the main connection to Crystal Coast North Carolina destinations such as Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, various seasonal camps including Camp Seagull/Seafarer and Camp Don Lee, and Emerald Isle, North Carolina.
On July 10, 2008 the North Carolina General Assembly ratified a bill that will allow the Craven County Airport to change its name to the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport. The name change became effective on August 15, 2008. History
The airport was previously named Craven County Regional Airport, Simmons-Nott Airport, and New Bern Regional Airport. Simmons-Nott came from North Carolina Senator Furnifold McLendel Simmons who was present at the 1931 dedication of the new terminal. During an air performance for the dedication, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Joel Nott was killed. Senator Simmons required that 1stLt Nott's named be added to the airport to pay homage for the fallen military officer.
On August 8, 1941, the Marine Corps leased the airport to become an outlying field of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and named it OLF Camp Mitchell. In the beginning of 1942 the Army Air Forces used the field for anti-submarine patrols. The field was later closed for seven months during 1942 while two hard surface runways and a runway lighting system were installed. The first Marine aviation units began to arrive at the field in February of 1943. Among the units to train at the field during the war was Marine Aircraft Group 34 and fighter squadrons VMF-324 and VMF-511. In January 1944, plans were announced to expand the field. However these plans were abandoned because the Marine Corps acquired surplus Army fields.
Craven Regional Airport has previously been serviced by Midway Airlines, American Airlines, Piedmont Airlines, Charter Express and National Airlines.
Terminal
Coastal Carolina Regional Airport currently has three gates for use by airlines, all of which are located on the central pier and share a common boarding area. The $17 million terminal for EWN was completed on November 5, 1999 by the LPA Group. As of June 2006, Coastal Carolina Regional has approved their 20 year Master Plan: an extension of the main runway, the runway safety area expansion, a larger noise zone, and a new control tower. Also located in the terminal is an eatery (Glenburnie Grill), and several car rental agencies.

General aviation
Coastal Carolina Regional is mostly used for general aviation but is also served by two commercial airlines. There are currently an average of 131 aircraft movements (take-offs and landings) at EWN, of which 16-20 are commercial airline movements. EWN is currently looking for additional airlines to provide service due to the increase in flying passengers that pass through EWN yearly.
General aviation provides most of the aircraft movements at EWN. The Fixed Based Operators at EWN are Tidewater Air, LLC and Tradewind International. A Parachute Jumping school is currently seeking approval to be based at EWN.
In September, 2007, Coastal Carolina Regional Airport awarded a $677,000 contract to build a new 4,000 sq ft (370 m) general aviation terminal for Tidewater Aviation. The new terminal has a lobby, greeting area, restrooms, showers, conference room, crew resting areas, work areas, and storage area. The terminal has the same facade and visually identical to the main terminal building. The new General Aviation terminal was dedicated on July 9, 2008.
