Norfolk International Airport (IATA: ORF[2], ICAO: KORF, FAA LID: ORF) is seven miles (11 km) northeast of downtown Norfolk, an independent city in Virginia, United States.[1] It is owned and operated by the Norfolk Airport Authority: a bureau under the municipal government. The airport serves the Hampton Roads metropolitan area of southeast Virginia (along with Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport in Newport News) as well as northeast North Carolina. There are currently no international destinations with regularly scheduled service from the airport.[3]

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 2022 categorized it as a small hub airport.[4]

As of 2022, with an enplanement count of 2,065,116 people, Norfolk International was ranked as the 65th-busiest airport in the United States and the third-busiest in Virginia in terms of passengers served annually, behind Dulles International Airport and Reagan National Airport, but just ahead of Richmond International.[5] Delta Air Lines has the largest share of passenger traffic, followed by Southwest Airlines and American Airlines.
