New Bedford Regional Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.
The longest runway measures 5,400 ft (1,646 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.
New Bedford Regional Airport sits near sea level at 80 ft.
Local operations run on America/New_York. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
SkyAccess currently tracks 1 departing and 2 arriving private-jet legs at KEWB across the next six months of operator inventory. 2 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.
