GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – It’s a new name and new look for Green Bay’s only airport.
Austin Straubel International Airport will now be known as Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport.
The new title was announced Wednesday morning along with a new logo, all hoping to draw more attention to the state’s third largest airport.
Jet Air Group CEO Al Timmerman says they’ve been working on the change for about a year.
“Adding the name Green Bay in front of Austin Straubel tells people where our airport is, that we’re a full U.S. customs service facility and they can come here and clear customs and be serviced with all their needs.”
Officials say the name change and rebranding will be good for business and on-going economic development efforts.
“We’ve got friendly customs agents that want more business. We’ve got reasonable fuel prices and great service,” says Timmerman.
A selfie board was also revealed where travelers can take photos.
Timmerman says last year they cleared about 400 U.S. customs flights and is hoping for even more this year.
