Grantsburg Municipal Airport (GTG)

Grantsburg Municipal Airport (GTG) is a public-use general aviation facility located in the village of Grantsburg, Burnett County, Wisconsin. Situated two nautical miles northeast of the town center, the airport serves as an important transportation link for northwestern Wisconsin and the surrounding St. Croix River Valley. It is owned and operated by the Village of Grantsburg and is recognized as a basic general aviation hub in the FAA's national airport system plan, providing essential connectivity for private pilots, local businesses, and recreational aviation enthusiasts. The airport's infrastructure covers 280 acres and features two distinct runways to accommodate various types of general aviation traffic. The primary Runway 12/30 is an asphalt strip measuring approximately 2,999 feet in length and is equipped with medium-intensity runway lights for evening operations. The secondary Runway 5/23 is a 3,280-foot turf strip, which is closed annually from November to April to protect the surface during the winter freeze and spring thaw. The facility is designed for maximum utility, with a straightforward layout that allows for rapid transitions between the airfield and ground transportation. Amenities at GTG are focused on meeting the fundamental needs of the general aviation community. The terminal building houses a modest passenger waiting area and a dedicated pilot's lounge, providing a quiet space for flight planning and relaxation. A unique feature of the airport is the availability of a courtesy loaner car for visiting pilots, with the keys accessible via a lockbox in the terminal. While the facility is unattended and does not currently offer on-site fueling services, it remains a vital piece of the region's transport network. Significant future plans for the field include the complete reconstruction of the primary runway and modernized lighting systems to further enhance operational safety.
