August 19th, 2020 | Airport News
27,612 passengers trust ABE for summer travel
(Hanover Township, PA) – For a third consecutive month, passenger traffic improved at your neighborhood airport, but the COVID-19 pandemic has still delivered a significant blow to summer travel.
Last month, 27,612 passengers traveled through Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) – a 70.7 percent decrease from July ’19.
“COVID-19 cases jumped following the Memorial Day weekend, and air travel certainly felt an immediate impact as momentum stalled with several coronavirus hotspots impacting many destinations from ABE. A slight uptick brings a welcomed change as we remain confident that anyone choosing our facility trusts the health and safety procedures in place to protect them,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Executive Director, LNAA.
