New air service coming to Lehigh Valley International Airport (KABE), Allentown, Pennsylvania

HANOVER TWP., Pa. -  There's good news on the horizon for Lehigh Valley travelers.

The Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority said new air service from Lehigh Valley International Airport is coming.

The authority plans to make the announcement at a news conference Tuesday morning.

Earlier this month, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey urged airlines to take another look at the Lehigh Valley.

Casey, a Pennsylvania Democrat, has written letters to Allegiant and Frontier airlines.

He's pushing Allegiant to add service at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Hanover Twp., Lehigh Co., and he wants Frontier to bring its service to the airport.

In January, AirTran announced it will leave LVIA in August as part of its purchase by Southwest Airlines.

There's no word on if Tuesday's announcement will include a new airline or expanded service by an existing airline.
