HANOVER TWP., Pa.- If you’re fed up with the snowy weather, the Lehigh Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA) probably feels your pain.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, LNAA reported January’s passenger numbers for\u00a0Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE). They’ve taken a hit, courtesy of Old Man Winter.<\/p>\n
Last month, 71,899 passengers used ABE, a 2.9% decrease from January of last year.<\/p>\n
There were 70 weather-related cancelations in January 2026. You may recall, a snowstorm at the end of the month dumped nearly a foot of snow on the airport and surrounding area.<\/p>\n
Next month’s passenger volume might not be so hot, either. Again, blame it on the relentless wintry weather.<\/p>\n
“We did have some significant flight cancelations in February already, so I’m anticipating that will also be a factor in our February numbers,” said LNAA Executive Director Thomas Stoudt, during Tuesday’s board meeting.<\/p>\n
One silver lining- ABE’s cargo business remains robust. More than 18.3 million pounds of air cargo was processed through the airport in January, an increase of 6.5%, LNAA reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HANOVER TWP., Pa.- If you’re fed up with the snowy weather, the Lehigh Northampton Airport Authority (LNAA) probably…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":122525,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[214,119,121,120,60,805],"class_list":["post-122524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-business","tag-lehighvalley"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
