Today ORF welcomed Governor Abigail Spanberger to Norfolk International Airport to highlight the progress of our new deicing pad, made possible in part by an investment of more than $10 million from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Opening this winter, the pad will allow simultaneous deicing of four commercial aircraft, which will help improve operational efficiency, support more reliable winter operations and keep passengers moving safely when winter weather arrives. Gov. Spanberger also toured the ongoing construction of our new consolidated rental car center, on track to open early 2028. This addition to ORF will greatly improve the rental car experience and keep up with the projected 20-year demand. We’re grateful to the Commonwealth for supporting critical aviation infrastructure and helping us prepare not only for the winter season, but the future of aviation in our region.
