(Hanover Township, PA) – Fresh off reaching its highest passenger traffic volume in two decades, Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) carried that positive momentum into 2024.

Last month, 68,030 passengers traveled through ABE – highest total for January since 2004 – and a 2.5% increase from 2023.
