Flights to Newark, NJ, will be available on
Thursdays, Sundays and select Tuesdays, starting November 14.
Newark offers seamless public transportation connections directly into the heart of New York City, making it easier than ever for West Virginia residents to enjoy the holiday season in the city that never sleeps. This new route provides a valuable travel option, connecting our community to a top destination.”
“The addition of nonstop service to New York-Newark marks a significant milestone for our airport and community,” says Dominique Ranieri, CEO & airport director of CRW. “This flight connects West Virginia and the Northeast, fostering new opportunities for tourism and business growth in our region.”
“We’ve been looking forward to the start of the New York-Newark Breeze flight to CRW since it was announced,” West Virginia Department of Tourism Secretary Chelsea Ruby says.
“This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Governor Justice, the Legislature, the airport and our local partners. Thanks to their continued partnership and investment in tourism infrastructure across the state, we have made great strides and opened up West Virginia to new markets of travelers.”
Breeze was recently recognized as a Four-Star, Low-Cost Carrier at the 2025 Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) Five-Star and Four-Star Airline Awards, placing it among the top eight percent of airlines worldwide for passenger experience. Additionally, Breeze was ranked among Travel + Leisure’s top five Best Domestic Airlines for the third consecutive year.
