Karl Stefan Memorial Airport (OFK/KOFK) is a city-owned public-use airport located about two miles south of Norfolk, Nebraska.

Its runways and services make it a convenient regional gateway for northeast Nebraska.
💡 Local Tip
Morning fog and low ceilings can develop near the Elkhorn River valley, so VFR pilots often plan departures for later in the morning; check weather and NOTAMs before heading out.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is reached by car via US-81/US-275 and local roads, with downtown Norfolk only a few minutes north. There is no regular public transit to the terminal, so pre-arrange a taxi, rideshare, hotel shuttle, or rental car. If flying in, call the FBO before arrival for after-hours access, parking, and fuel.
