Greenville New Bern Washington, NC, October 28, 2026 —

Coastal Carolina Regional Airport in New Bern, North Carolina, has received a $750,000 federal grant to support efforts to pursue daily air service to Washington Dulles International Airport.

The funding comes through the Small Community Air Service Development Program. The grant is intended to support the airport’s pursuit of the service; the information provided does not say that daily flights have been established or that an airline has committed to operate them.

Details about how the grant will be used were not provided. The summary also does not identify an airline involved in the effort, give a proposed start date, or describe any schedule or route arrangements. It does not state whether the airport or program has set additional milestones for the service effort.

The grant amount and the intended destination are specified, but the next steps remain unclear from the available information. No details were provided about the duration of the grant, any conditions attached to it, or how progress toward daily service will be assessed.

For now, the reported development is federal funding to support the airport’s effort to pursue daily service between New Bern and Washington Dulles. The grant itself does not confirm that the route will begin, and no further information about the outcome of the pursuit was included.
