This announcement was made about 2.5 hours ago.

Lehigh Valley International Airport officials have scheduled a news conference 9 a.m. Tuesday to announce new air service. The Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority, which manages LVIA, did not disclose additional details today.


But looking at the airport website, I see no United flights scheduled to leave tomorrow. What gives? Are they actually going to announce that United has abandoned the airport instead of new service?

This would be a real kick in the pants after American Airlines left this July, and Southwest is planning to leave this summer.

That would leave the airport with a single Westward destination (Detroit). Will US Airways come to the rescue and put a flight into their hub in Phoenix?

ABE website only shows one arrival on each day from each airport. I thought that they were just trying to get some people home.

UA 5892 TUE 2/28 11:17 AM ON TIME CHICAGO/O'HARE
UA 3867 TUE 2/28 1:47 PM ON TIME WASHINGTON IAD

UA 5892 WED 2/29 11:10 AM ON TIME CHICAGO/O'HARE
UA 3867 WED 2/29 1:47 PM ON TIME WASHINGTON IAD

I hope you are correct in that this is a data feed problem. But it just seems very strange.

Default Frontier Airlines

Well, it looks like it was a data feed problem. They just announced that Frontier Airlines would begin twice weekly service to Orlando about 3 months before AirTran leaves in August. Presumably, once AirTran leaves, Frontier will increase frequency.

Not very exciting news. The one market that is viable at ABE is tourist flights to Orlando. It seemed obvious that somebody would pick up the slack.

Frontier held out the hope that they will begin a flight to their hub in Denver, giving some more low cost options for flying out of ABE.
