Aircraft Disinsection in Green Bay, WI: Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB)

About Austin Straubel International Airport

GRB runs at a comfortable regional pace most of the year, then surges when the NFL schedule brings charters, team aircraft, and waves of private traffic to town. The 8,700-ft main runway accepts everything from regional jets to widebody charters on game weekends. Northeastern Wisconsin’s paper, packaging, and shipbuilding industries provide the corporate baseline. Lake Michigan weather and Wisconsin winters are familiar operating factors here.

On the field at GRB

Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) sits 7 miles southwest of Green Bay, Wisconsin, at an elevation of 695 feet. Runway 18/36 gives GRB 8,700 feet of concrete, 150 feet wide; the field has 2 runways in all. It is a towered field with a Part 139 airport operating certificate. GRB is a U.S. Customs landing rights airport, where international arrivals clear by prior arrangement. Jet Air Services and Avflight Green Bay operate FBOs here, and we come to the aircraft at any of them. Nothing repositions: the aircraft is treated where it sits, before boarding, and leaves with the certificate.

Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from

The requirement belongs to the country you are flying to, and it is met at the last port before that country. Leave Green Bay non-stop and GRB is that port, so pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here, before boarding, satisfies the destinations that accept the method. Add a stop and the picture changes; tell us the routing and we will place the treatment correctly.

Operators leaving GRB meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Greece, India, Egypt are typical from Green Bay. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving Austin Straubel International Airport is expected to arrive treated, with a certificate, and pre-embarkation at the last US port is how we deliver that.

The aircraft disinsection process on the GRB ramp

Nothing about the GRB treatment disrupts your departure. We time it to your boarding, coordinate access and position with the FBO, and treat the empty aircraft, cabin, flight deck and holds, to the WHO method once catering and cleaning are finished. The aircraft ventilates for the required wait, the certificate goes aboard, and passengers step onto a treated aircraft without ever seeing the process.
