A major American airport is set to undergo a billion-dollars worth of changes!
Norfolk International Airport (ORF) in Virginia is dedicating $1 billion for an expansion project that will add tons of new space and offerings! Whether you’re flying to Disney World or your next big adventure out of ORF, here’s what you need to know about this expensive project and what will yield from it…
Construction at Norfolk International Airport is not a new development, but this year’s $1 billion capital improvement project will see the airport fully transform into something we’ve yet to see.
The project bit of the expansion that’s slated to finish was the new Customs and Border Patrol facility not far from Concourse A. This facility overhauled the airport’s customs operations and serves as a processing center for the new Cancun flight that was recently added to the airport. It will also serve future international direct flights and host interviews for the U.S. Global Entry program, per reports.
ORF CEO Mark Perryman revealed to News 3 WTKR that “2026 is almost the apex year,” and construction really gets going with the Concourse A expansion, which is currently slated to open in March or April. This expanded area will feature three new gates occupied by American Airlines, and will also include traveler amenities such as the new High Tide Bar and Grill, pet relief area, and new bathrooms.
This $25 million expansion will boast a higher ceiling and glass walls and is being constructed to meet a growing passenger and departure demand…
