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.

The airport name was officially changed to Green Bay–Austin Straubel International Airport on 17 August 2016.[6][7]
