North Little Rock Municipal Airport (ICAO: KORK, FAA LID: ORK, formerly 1M1) is a public use airport in Pulaski County, Arkansas, United States.[1] It is owned by the City of North Little Rock and located four nautical miles (5 mi, 7 km) north of its central business district.[1]

This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport[2] for Little Rock National Airport.[3]
