Many runways around the local area and around the state have begun to fill up with the warmer weather finally settling into Northeast Wisconsin and across the state. 

With the uptick in traveling during the summer months due to the high tourism rates and attractions of Northeast Wisconsin, expect more planes to be in the sky. Not only will the summer weather bring in the traffic, but so will the upcoming Memorial Day holiday. Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport’s Director Marty Piette says that seats are filling fast, if not already filled, and that does not seem to be slowing down. 

Alongside the summer travel, the fall flights into Green Bay for Packer games have begun to come into play with the NFL recently announcing their schedule for the season. With most home games bringing in teams from bigger cities, expect Lambeau Field to be packed with fans from both teams come gameday. With the arrival of those fans comes a busier airport, Piette explains. 

With the combination of the nice weather, tourism, and the Green Bay Packers, the Austin Straubel International Airport is set for a busy period ahead, so planning ahead will be a must for travelers.
