A little more than a year after Lancaster Airport officials had to send most of their employees home due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the runways in Manheim Township are the busiest they ve been in years.
Through the first three months of this year, the airport saw 20,342 departures and landings, according to data from the Federal Aviation Administration; the most in that period since 2012.
Itâs the latest sign that Lancaster Airportâs efforts to remake itself as a destination for corporate and chartered jet services are paying off after a difficult year for air travel.
In June, officials plan to unveil a new VIP-style lounge area for corporate clients, according to Airport Authority Chairman Jim Cunningham.

More than a third of Maryland gas stations are out of gasoline as the East Coast sees shortages following a cyberattack on a major pipeline.
Though the Colonial Pipeline has already begun to restart operations following the attack, some consumers resorted to panic buying gasoline after news of the disruption.
The company said it will take several days for the supply chain to return to normal.
GasBuddy.com, a site that tracks gas prices, reports that 34% of Maryland gas stations were experiencing outages as of 7 a.m. Thursday.
Other states along the East Coast are seeing much more severe problems: In Virginia, 55% of gas stations don t have gasoline, according to the GasBuddy.com data, while more than 70% of stations are dry in North Carolina.

MARYLAND Spikes in gas prices were reported in Maryland and other areas after a cyberattack prompted a major gas pipeline shutdown.
Colonial Pipeline, which runs from New York to Texas and delivers 45 percent of fuel to the East Coast, shut down its main pipeline over the weekend as a precaution after the ransomware attack. It has since been reactivated.
Prices at the pump in Maryland have increased 10 cents in the past week, according to the Automobile Association of America.
