Highest passenger traffic on record for the Airport
(Hanover Township, PA) – During a sizzling summer of air travel, Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) eclipsed 100,000 passengers in July – which became the highest passenger traffic total on record for a single month.
Last month, 101,988 passengers used ABE – an 11.7% increase from July 2023.
“The heavier passenger volumes have been noticeable, as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reported nine of the Top 10 busiest days ever in our Screening Checkpoint since 2002. The passenger count would have been even higher, however multiple flight cancellations occurred from the CrowdStrike incident on July 19th that resulted in national and global ground stops being issued by Allegiant, American, Delta and United,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA).
