We would like to congratulate to Robert S. Bowen, former ORF Executive Director, on his induction into the Virginia Aeronautical Hall of Fame.
Bowen's journey at ORF began with a summer job fueling aircraft in 1974 and grew into an extraordinary 45-year career. He served as for more than two decades, Deputy Executive Director and ultimately Executive Director from 2016 until his retirement in 2022.
During his leadership, ORF initiated 120 capital improvement projects totaling $170 million, including a new parking garage, terminal modernization and runway improvements. He also helped expand air service, welcoming Allegiant, Frontier and Breeze Airways and celebrated the airport’s first nonstop service to the West Coast in 2018.
From guiding airport growth and modernization to helping ORF navigate the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Bowen's dedication and leadership have left a lasting legacy.
Join us in celebrating this outstanding achievement and thanking Robert for his decades of service to ORF and Virginia aviation 👏

ORF was proud to take part in the @Chamber757's State of the Airports event held earlier today. It brought together regional leaders and business professionals to discuss the impact of airports in our region for connectivity, economic growth and future opportunities.
Respected erowitz provided a keynote to discuss why certain regions are favored by airlines over others.
Following his presentation, a panel of regional aviation and business leaders discussed the progress, opportunities and future vision for our region’s airports. The discussion was moderated by Aubrey Layne, former Virginia Secretary of Transportation and featured Greg Campbell, Director, Virginia Department of Aviation; Bob McKenna, President and CEO, Virginia Peninsula Chamber; Mark Perryman, President and CEO, Norfolk Airport Authority and Norfolk International Airport; and Chris Price, City Manager, City of Chesapeake.
We appreciated the opportunity to share insights into these airports' progress and vision for the future while connecting with the business community that makes Hampton Roads a great place to live, work and travel.
Thank you to the Hampton Roads Chamber for hosting this important conversation.

Hints: it's close to New York City, but not one of its five boroughs; its history includes an important Revolutionary War battle and it's located in Westchester County.

We're always working toward opportunities to bring new nonstops to ORF — and passenger data leads the way. The following cities were our top five unserved routes over the 12 months ending July 31. ORF has never had scheduled nonstop service to these markets, but airlines closely raffic. As the numbers increase, so do ORF's chances of landing a new nonstop destination. (1/2)
