83,560 passengers chose their neighborhood airport for air travel
It hasn’t happened since 2004, which is the last time Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) reached 1 million passengers.
In April, 83,560 passengers traveled through ABE – a 27.28 percent increase from April ’18 – and the second highest single month total since 2011.
This amazing April also marks 19 consecutive months of positive passenger growth dating back to October 2017.

“It’s a combination of many factors. Certainly, the start of twice daily service to Chicago aboard American Airlines produced a lot of momentum, plus we noticed a travel surge with people taking advantage of spring break for some rest and relaxation,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA).
By the numbers, American reported a total passenger increase of 53.3%, followed by Allegiant up 25%, Delta jumped 17%, and United increased 4.3%.
“Excitement continues building at ABE with the impending arrival of seasonal service to Nashville in May and Savannah / Hilton Head in June aboard Allegiant. We remain focused on improving the passenger experience ahead of the busy summer travel season as critical escalator / elevator repairs are underway, coordination for additional parking spaces, and the completion of paving of the Runway 6-24 intersection during a recent airport closure in early May has us breathing easier,” said Stoudt.
