30,367 passengers travel through ABE
(Hanover Township, PA) – Air travelers in the Lehigh Valley responded to recommendations by public health officials to stay home for the Thanksgiving holiday, as Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) posted a decrease in passenger traffic during November.
Last month, 30,367 passengers traveled through ABE – a 57.29 percent decline from Nov. 2019.
“In comparison to last year, ABE experienced an approximate 53% decrease in Thanksgiving week travelers. We continue to anticipate that passenger traffic numbers will be driven by the ongoing pandemic and any prevention restrictions implemented for public safety,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, LNAA.
