LVIA continuing momentum after year of record passenger traffic
Stacy Wescoe//February 21, 2024//
After reaching its highest passenger traffic volume in two decades last year, Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) is continuing its growth into 2024.
In January, 68,030 passengers traveled through ABE. That’s the highest total for January since 2004 and is a 2.5% increase from 2023.
“Starting the year with strong activity is certainly exciting for the Airport. We’ve been fortunate that winter weather hasn’t frequently impacted airline schedules. Additionally, ABE has several options for people trying to either escape the snow or for those travelers seeking the perfect destination to enjoy it,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, executive director of the Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA).
Allegiant increased 8.9% and American jumped 3.8%. Meanwhile, Delta passenger traffic remained flat with United declining 21% from last January.
A total of 18,332,670 pounds of air cargo was processed through the airport in January. That’s a decrease of 19.2% from January 2023.
