Breeze To Add Direct Flight From Yeager To Newark International


Starting Nov. 14, Breeze will fly directly from Yeager Airport to Newark Liberty International two days a week.

Newark, New Jersey, is about a 20-minute train ride into New York City and is a hub for international flights

“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,” said Yeager Airport Director and CEO Dominique Ranieri. “Breeze Airways has been a tremendous addition to West Virginia, and we look forward to their continued growth at CRW.”

Breeze began Charleston service in May 2023 and flies directly to Orlando International Airport year-round. The airline offers seasonal service to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Tampa, Florida.

The Breeze flights to Newark, code EWR, will take off on Thursdays and Sundays. Fares on the new route start at $49 and can be booked at flybreeze.com

This will be the first time in more than a decade since Yeager has had a flight to the New York region. Breeze’s current partnership with the state and local governments includes incentives.
