After seeing the most traffic it has seen in 20 years, Austin Straubel Airport in Green Bay hopes to see you flying through soon. Airport Director Marty Piette says the Wednesday before and the Sunday after the NFL Draft were in the top five of all-time traffic days at Austin Straubel since 2000. It is part of why traffic at the Green Bay airport is up 5 percent year-over-year in 2025, with the NFL Draft boosting a strong spring break crowd. Piette says that with the summer travel season on the horizon, he is only seeing air traffic going up in the future.
If you are looking at getting away this summer, Piette advises you to jump on those flights sooner rather than later. Flights to southern destinations like Florida are among their most popular flights being booked right now. Austin Straubel Airport is also looking ahead to the fall as it looks for additional flights to Green Bay to correspond with Packers home games.
