Every year, airports undergo comprehensive inspections by the Federal Aviation Administration, evaluating everything from runway conditions and airfield lighting to record keeping and emergency response readiness.

We're proud to share that ORF passed this year's inspection with zero discrepancies 🙌 — a testament to our unwavering commitment to safety, excellence and operational integrity.

A huge thank you to our Airside Operations and Field Maintenance Teams for their hard work and attention to detail. Your efforts help ensure ORF continues to meet — and exceed — the highest standards every day.

@NorfolkBotanic's Airport Overlook is the coolest place to learn about flight, see unobstructed views of the airfield and hear FAA Norfolk Tower controllers on the job. Pack your blanket & a picnic for your best day of plane spotting ✈️🌿🌸

Please share your concerns with your airline, Beth. The people who guide aircraft to the gates are hired by the airlines, not the airport. No one working for ORF touches a plane, whether it's to connect to the jet bridge or to refuel or opening doors to the cabin or baggage compartments. Those are 100% airline duties handled by the companies that own and operate the aircraft.

It's Self-Care Day 🫂

Our day looks like:
☕ Coffee
🎧 Our favorite playlist
📖 A good book (or pretending to read while people-watching)
💺 Window seat
✈️ A nonstop to white sandy beaches (like Cancun on @BreezeAirways!)

ORF had the pleasure of hosting students from @BGClubseva for our annual "Sky's The Limit" event. The students practiced going through the TSA security checkpoint, enjoyed a narrated airfield tour, participated in a paper airplane competition and learned about the different departments that make an airport run. This event provided insight to the career possibilities in aviation and helped inspire the next generation of leaders in the field ✈️

Thank you to our event participants for helping us spread the joy of aviation:
@TSA
Virginia Department of Aviation
@VaAirandSpace
HeliService
ORF Volunteer Airport Ambassadors
ORF Welcome Waggin' Therapy Dogs
ORF Departments: Fire, Police, Landside Operations, Field Maintenance, Marketing

And an extra shoutout to our hangar hosts, @SignatureFBO!

@DrummerB757 It is not in the plans as it is not necessary. The consolidated checkpoint project will address that.

ORF travelers will notice new security exit doors when leaving Concourse A. These automated doors help improve airport security while keeping passenger flow smooth.
