Green Bay, WI (WTAQ) – Packer game weekends usually mean a busy time for area bars, restaurants and hotels.
But it’s also a bonanza for the Jet Air Group, based out of Austin Straubel Airport.
Especially when the opponent is the Dallas Cowboys.
Allan Timmerman is Jet Air C-E-O. He says the Cowboys really bring in the out of towners.
From 4 seat Cessnas to large corporate jets, they all park their aircraft at his place…before heading into town for the weekend.
Timmerman expects to 60 – 70 planes, from as far away as Mexico and Vancouver, Canada.
At some point private flights will be landing at Austin Straubel every two minutes.
In addition to spending their money in the local businesses, Timmerman does well by renting storage space, selling fuel….there’s even a mechanic on duty if needed.
