Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR) is located in Tyler, Texas and has been serving the local community since the 1940s. The airport was originally owned by the City of Tyler and was known as Tyler Municipal Airport. In the 1950s, the airport was renamed to Tyler Pounds Regional Airport in honor of an army airman that died in service during World War II. During this time, the airport saw significant growth as it began to serve more airlines and passengers. By 1960, TYR had become a medium hub airport with multiple airlines offering flights to destinations across Texas and beyond.
In the 1970s, TYR underwent several improvements including expanding its runway to accommodate larger aircraft and building a new terminal building. This expansion allowed for more airlines to offer services at TYR and increased its cargo capacity significantly. Today, TYR is served by four major airlines with over 40 daily departures offering service to numerous destinations across the United States and Canada. The airport also houses two FBOs (Fixed Base Operators) that provide private jet charter services as well as fueling services for general aviation aircraft. In addition to commercial flights, TYR serves as a base for military aircraft belonging to both the U.S Air Force and Navy Reserve units stationed in East Texas.
