Green Bay-Austin Straubel International Airport (IATA: GRB, ICAO: KGRB, FAA LID: GRB), is a county owned public use airport in Brown County, Wisconsin, United States serving Northeast Wisconsin and portions of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.[1] The airport is located seven nautical miles (13 km) southwest of downtown Green Bay,[1] in the village of Ashwaubenon. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a non-hub primary commercial service facility.[2] It sits on portions of land encompassing Green Bay and the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin's Indian reservation. It has two runways and is used for commercial air travel and general aviation. There are two concourses with six gates each, the first concourse was completed in July 2004 and the second concourse was completed in December 2005. They were designed by Mead & Hunt, Inc.[3] Also located on site are three restaurants (operated by Air Host) and four car rental companies.

The airport is named for Lt. Col. Austin Straubel, the first aviator from Brown County to lose his life in his country's service on February 3, 1942, after having served for thirteen years in the United States Army Air Corps. The airport name was officially changed to Green Bay-Austin Straubel International Airport on August 17, 2016.[4][5]

Green Bay–Austin Straubel International Airport is the 3rd largest in Wisconsin. Also known to be "The Gateway to Lambeau", it is one of two airports mainly utilized for people traveling to Lambeau Field, the other being Appleton International Airport, about 20 miles (32 km) to the southwest.
