What do the colors mean?
The white arrow on the runway points the way the traffic is going. Derived from the positions of aircraft flying low near the airport right now. Not an official runway plan; what we see.
Designation, direction and length of every runway. These rarely change; which one is in use right now shows up here whenever we observe traffic.
2 runways · Longest runway: 9,003 ft
We currently see no traffic on approach or just after takeoff. That happens at a quiet airport or in the middle of the night.

Fly direct
The destinations we know the most flight numbers for. That approximates how heavily a route is served; it is not a passenger count.
Other airports within reach, with the straight-line distance and the number of direct destinations we know of. Airports without scheduled service are left out.

In our own 30-day reception measurement, we logged an average of 5.7 aircraft observations per day near ORF Airport, formally Norfolk International Airport (IATA ORF, ICAO KORF), which serves the city of Norfolk in the United States. For the live ORF flight status, start with the live radar on this page, which shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from Norfolk right now, and with the arrivals and departures pages linked above it for the times and status of individual flights. Everything below adds the context the radar cannot give you, namely how Norfolk traffic spreads across the day in our measurement, which airlines we recorded most often, and which nearby airports can step in when plans change.
That daily average is measured, not scheduled: it comes from our own reception measurement at Norfolk over 30 days, and it describes what we recorded rather than a published timetable. Within our data it corresponds to a moderate traffic level, while the airport itself is listed in the large airport size class in our database. Both labels apply at the same time: the size class describes the airport, the traffic level describes the 5.7 observations a day we recorded.
The busiest window in our 30-day measurement fell between 14:00 and 16:00. One caveat before you plan around those hours: our measurement clock runs in UTC, so translate the window to Norfolk local time first. With that conversion made, it tells you when the radar on this page tends to fill up fastest on an ordinary day.
American Airlines is the carrier we recorded most often at ORF, with 16 observations in our 30-day window. Delta Air Lines follows with 10 observations over the same period. Both counts come from our own reception measurement, so they describe what we actually recorded at Norfolk, not a published timetable. American and Delta are the only two carriers in our data for ORF. If you are waiting on a specific flight with either carrier, the airline page is the next place to look: American Airlines flight status or Delta flight status.
The closest alternative in our database is Newport News Williamsburg International Airport, 37 km from ORF; when a flight at Norfolk falls through, that is the first alternative to look at. Richmond International Airport is the next option at 120 km, a longer trip from Norfolk but the nearest alternative beyond Newport News in our data. Farther out, Pitt-Greenville Airport sits at 176 km and completes the list of nearby airports in our data for ORF. For orientation on a map, our database places Norfolk International at 36.8953 north and 76.201 west.
