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, which serves Northeastern Wisconsin.[1] It is the fourth busiest of eight commercial service airports in Wisconsin in terms of passengers served.[2][3] The airport is located 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) southwest of downtown Green Bay,[1] in the village of Ashwaubenon.

It has two runways and is used for commercial air travel and general aviation. There are two concourses with six gates each.[5] The airport is named for Lt. Col. Austin Straubel, the first aviator from Brown County to die in his country's service on 3 February 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 17 August 2016.[6][7]
