Steady in September

October 24th, 2024 |

75,472 passengers traveled through ABE

(Hanover Township, PA) – Fresh off a record setting summer season, Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) passenger traffic remained steady in September.

Last month, 75,472 passengers used ABE – a 4.8% increase from September 2023.

“We’re always excited to share the news of growth in passenger activity, especially since the Airport historically experiences a significant slowdown with the end of summer vacations and with schools back in session,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA).

Month               Passengers             Percentage Increase          Month                 Passengers

Sept. ’24                75,472                               4.8%                      Sept. ’23                    72,031

By the numbers, American jumped 16.2% and Allegiant was up 3%.  Meanwhile, Delta remained flat and United declined 3.1% from last September.

The Final Phase

Construction on Zekraft – a familiar local food establishment to Lehigh Valley residents – and a new Marketplace to replace the current gift shop are both underway in the Wilfred M. “Wiley” Post, Jr. Concourse at ABE.

“Our primary goal of this project is to create a menu of food and beverage options for passengers which ultimately improves the customer experience,” said Stoudt.

The Airport and Tailwind Hospitality, Inc. already celebrated the arrival of The Drafthouse at ABE and Which Wich® earlier this year.
