“We anticipated the terminal would be buzzing this summer. Those expectations have been proven true thanks to all of those air travelers in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding communities choosing the convenience of their neighborhood airport,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA).
By the numbers, United reported a total passenger increase of 38.7%, with American posting another strong month at 28.6%, followed by Allegiant up 26.2%, and Delta jumping 9%.
“Its important to recognize the strong increases of all of our air carriers at ABE, as they continue to deliver the highest level of customer service while expanding operations. The recent arrival of additional flights to Chicago and new destinations in Nashville and Savannah / Hilton Head have been very successful. We remain focused on enhancing the customer experience with the addition of the Airport Book Exchange (ABE) – a partnership with local public libraries (Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton) as passengers are able to take a book for their journey or leave a book they completed before takeoff,” said Stoudt.
