Norfolk International Airport

Norfolk International Airport (KORF) sits 7 miles northeast of downtown Norfolk, Virginia. The field handles significant commercial service (Southwest, American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Allegiant, Frontier, Spirit) and a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the Hampton Roads defense flow (Naval Station Norfolk is the largest naval base in the world), the Virginia Beach tourism flow, and the Tidewater corporate corridor. The two runways at KORF (5/23 9,001 ft, 14/32 4,876 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Two FBOs (Signature and Wilson Air Center) handle business movements. Field elevation is 27 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are Atlantic coastal weather (hurricane season June–November — Hampton Roads has been hit by major storms, most recently Hurricane Matthew in 2016), summer thunderstorms, and occasional Nor'easters in winter. The structural event windows are Naval Air Station events, the Virginia Beach summer-tourism peak, and major Norfolk maritime / Navy events. Ground time to downtown Norfolk is 10–15 minutes; Naval Station Norfolk is 5; Virginia Beach is 30–40.
