All Flight InformationClosure Can’t Slow Momentum In May
June 19th, 2019 | Airport News
76,400 passengers chose their neighborhood airport for air travel
For 52-hours last month, Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) remained quiet with no takeoffs or landings during the Runway 6-24 intersection repaving project. Even this brief interruption could not slow down the positive momentum at your neighborhood airport.
In May, 76,400 passengers traveled through ABE – a 9.65 percent increase from May ’18 – and the the highest single month total for May since 2005. Â
This amazing May also marks 20 consecutive months of positive passenger growth dating back to October 2017.
Month             Passengers               Percentage increase            Month            Passengers
May ’19             76,400                                9.65%                       May ’18              69,675
“We are extremely grateful for the understanding and loyalty of passengers and stakeholders while completing this critical infrastructure project,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA).
By the numbers, American reported a total passenger increase of 23.7%, followed by Allegiant up 9.6%. Delta dipped 1.2%, and United remained flat with a slight decrease of 0.5%.
“Our busiest season is upon us and the launch of seasonal service to Nashville and Savannah / Hilton Head aboard Allegiant has certainly generated early excitement around the Lehigh Valley. Overcoming the hassles of summer travel can be easier at ABE, as we remain customer-centeric with a children’s play area, sensory room for individuals with intellectual / developmental disabilities, rocking chairs, C.O.P.E dogs, and an overall family-friendly environment,” said Stoudt.
