“This positive momentum continues with strong performances from all four commercial carriers, which indicates a strong economy and air travelers choosing the convenience of their neighborhood airport,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA).
By the numbers, American reported a total passenger increase of 49%, followed by Allegiant up 9.7%, Delta jumped 8.5%, and United increased 5.9%.
“Daily service to Chicago aboard American started in April, and the impending arrival of seasonal service to Nashville and Savannah / Hilton Head aboard Allegiant in the coming weeks has us anticipating a very busy summer travel season. We’ll also be focused on improving the passenger experience with critical escalator / elevator repairs and reinvesting in our infrastructure by continuing Phase 1 of the Runway 6-24 rehabilitation project,” said Stoudt.
This March marks 18 consecutive months of positive passenger growth dating back to October 2017.
