Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (EWN) is pleased to announce the completion of a major phase in the terminal expansion project.
The terminal expansion, which increased the size of the facility by 20%, was part of a multi-faceted master plan designed to strengthen the airport’s long-term appeal and functionality for airlines and passengers alike. This initial phase includes the addition of one boarding gate, two aircraft passenger boarding bridges, a larger TSA security screening checkpoint area, new restrooms and an area for service animals.
“As we celebrate the completion of this initial phase, we envision more than just a completed project; we see a gateway to new opportunities for our community. This expansion is not merely about adding square footage; it’s about enhancing connectivity, fostering economic growth, and elevating the travel experience for all who pass through our doors,” said Airport Director Andrew Shorter.
“The Airport Authority extends its deepest gratitude to our partners at the local, state, and federal levels who have contributed to the success of this project. From architects to construction crews, from engineers to airport staff, and every other stakeholder involved, your dedication and expertise have brought this vision to fruition. Together, we’ve built more than just structures; we’ve built bridges that connect our community to the world,” said Airport Authority Chairman Tyler Harris.
“As we embark on this new chapter, we are committed to serving our passengers and advancing our shared goals. We hope this expanded terminal will serve as a testament to our collective spirit of innovation and collaboration, ensuring that EWN remains a beacon of progress and prosperity for generations to come,” said Jeff Wood, Executive Director of Craven 100 Alliance.
The remaining portions of the expansion project including covered access from the Short-Term Parking into the terminal, many new energy efficient enhancements throughout are schedule for completion by the end of the year.
