35,995 passengers travel through ABE
(Hanover Township, PA) – For only the second time since COVID-19 severely impacted commercial air travel earlier this year, Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) experienced a significant rise in passenger traffic during October.
Last month, 35,995 passengers traveled through ABE – a 53.7 percent decline from Oct. 2019.
“A rise of 10,000 passengers versus last month (September) is uplifting even as the pandemic presents new challenges with the change of seasons. It also potentially indicates the growing trust and confidence that flying from your neighborhood airport remains a very safe option,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, LNAA.
