## Description

302 million pounds of air freight crossed the ramp at Lehigh Valley International (IATA: ABE, ICAO: KABE) in 2025 — a 21 percent jump and the busiest year in the airport's history, capping growth of 800 percent since 2014. Amazon Air's Boeing 767s have historically carried about 80 percent of the tonnage, alongside FedEx Express and UPS freighters plus charter flights. Six freighter stands are nearing capacity, and a new cargo terminal is in planning. The driver sits on the ground: the Lehigh Valley along I-78 has become one of the largest warehouse markets on the US East Coast, with New York and Philadelphia each about an hour away by truck. On the passenger side, Allegiant, American, Delta and United link Allentown to their hubs and to Florida. For forwarders, ABE is a pressure valve when ramps at Newark and Philadelphia clog up.
