Yesterday, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) announced the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) FY2023 Airport Terminal Program has awarded Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (EWN) in New Bern a $5 million grant for terminal expansion and improvements. The improvements include the addition of two passenger boarding bridges, expansion of hold rooms, improvements to passenger and baggage screening and handling areas, and upgrades to facilitate the post-9/11 passenger and baggage screening requirements. This funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law which Senator Tillis helped negotiate and pass into law.
