Aircraft Disinsection at Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB)
Austin Straubel International serves Green Bay, a paper and packaging town whose identity is inseparable from the Packers. If your GRB departure is headed somewhere that mandates disinsection, the aircraft is treated here before the first passenger boards.
If your next departure from GRB is to a country that requires disinsection, we come to your aircraft here, treat it empty before boarding to the WHO pre-embarkation method, and issue the certificate for the flight. Expect us at Green Bay within 24 to 36 hours of confirmation; booked departures are guaranteed for the date.
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.
Where the 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 Jamaica, Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Greece, Jamaica, 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.
How it works 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.

GRB disinsection questions, answered
Do you perform disinsection at Austin Straubel International Airport?
Yes. GRB is one of the US departure airports we come to. The treatment happens at your aircraft, in the hangar or on the FBO ramp, timed to your boarding, and the certificate is issued on the spot.
Does a flight from GRB to Italy need disinsection?
Yes, Italy requires it on arriving aircraft, and pre-embarkation treatment at GRB before boarding is a method it accepts for a non-stop flight. Greece, Jamaica, India, Egypt are other common cases from Green Bay. Send us the route and we will confirm the plan.
When should we book disinsection for a trip out of GRB?
As soon as the trip from Green Bay is likely. We hold the plan with you and adjust if the departure moves; if Australia or New Zealand is on the itinerary from GRB, start earlier still because of the operator paperwork.
Can one treatment at GRB cover an outbound and a return?
No. Pre-embarkation covers one flight sector, the flight it is performed for. The return to the US carries no US disinsection requirement; onward international legs need their own consideration. Send us the itinerary from Green Bay and we will map it leg by leg.
