CHARLESTON, W.Va. – On Aug. 7, Breeze Airways and West Virginia International Yeager Airport (CRW) announced new service to New York-Newark from CRW, starting November 14. Flights to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) will be twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays.
“The New York City area is among the top destinations requested by our community, and now our travelers have even more reason to choose West Virginia International Yeager Airport,” said Airport Director & CEO Dominique Ranieri. “This new route not only enhances access and flexibility for visitors to the New York City area but also offers expanded options for connecting to other destinations. Breeze Airways has been a tremendous addition to West Virginia, and we look forward to their continued growth at CRW.”
Breeze, which began service at CRW in May of 2023, was recently ranked in the top five of Travel + Leisure’s “Best Domestic Airlines” for the third year in a row. The airline offers both bundled and a la carte options so travelers can customize their travel experience to fit their needs.
In addition to the New York-Newark flights, Breeze offers flights from CRW to Orlando International Airport (MCO) and seasonal flights to Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) and Tampa International Airport (TPA).
“We appreciate Breeze Airways’ commitment to providing convenient and affordable travel options to and from our Capital City,” said Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin. “We are thrilled about the new service to New York-Newark. Not only will this non-stop service enhance our connectivity and provide more travel options, but also bring new opportunities for tourism and business.”
“Let’s start spreading the news, Breeze is going to New York! Our airport continues to grow and offer direct flights.
