It’s easier and more affordable than ever before. I would like to thank both Sun Country and Frontier for their commitment to GRB and our area travelers. I’d also like to urge residents to support these flights so we can continue to expand local air service offerings.”
Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach added, “These new flights are a strong sign of a recovering economy as well as the growing interest of local residents to resume traveling. The airport plays an important role in our community, having a significant yearly impact of more than $265 million. Any time we can add more flights, especially nonstop destinations, it’s good for everyone.”
To welcome passengers to the new flights, refreshments will be provided, including fresh oranges to celebrate the Florida flights.
