(Hanover Township, PA) – As COVID-19 restrictions are being rescinded, passenger traffic remains steady relative to pandemic travel levels at Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE).
26,299 passengers used ABE in February 2021 – a 62.8 percent decline from Feb. 2020.
“More cars are parked in the lots outside our Main Terminal than over the previous 11 months, and processing at the TSA checkpoint has been busier for flights heading to leisure destinations. We are cautiously optimistic that a turnaround is approaching as more people are vaccinated,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, LNAA.
