With new flight options LVIA sees uptick in April travel

Lehigh Valley International Airport saw a strong April, and the addition of nonstop flights to Orlando International Airport last month is getting some of the credit.

Last month, 76,691 passengers used ABE. That’s a 4.3% increase from April 2023.

“We’re excited to expand connectivity for our passengers, and ABE is certainly recognized as a very convenient travel option. The Airport continues preparing for the rush of summer travelers with industry experts predicting record breaking numbers at airports across the country,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, executive director of the Lehigh Northampton Airport Authority.

Allegiant increased 12.5% and Delta passenger traffic remained flat. Meanwhile, United declined 4% and American decreased 4.4% from last April.

Meanwhile, a total 20,595,434 pounds of air cargo was processed through Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) in April. That’s a decrease of 12.8% from April 2023.
