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 m2) 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.

“Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?”
