Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (IATA: TYR, ICAO: KTYR) is an airport located six miles west of Tyler, Texas (USA). The airport currently has three paved runways. In recent years, the airport has been expanding in order to meet goals outlined within "The Tyler Master Plan." On August 17, 2002, the airport opened a new terminal building, which doubled the available space.
Tyler Pounds Regional is a large center for General Aviation. The airport has three public parking lots for General Aviation arrivals. Commercial Service
American Eagle and Continental Connection currently offer service to and from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, in Dallas/Fort Worth, and George Bush Intercontinental Airport, in Houston. As of fall 2008, American Eagle operates Embraer ERJ 145 to Dallas-Fort Worth while Continental Connection continues to operate Saab 340B to George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
In early 2006, American Eagle announced it would be cutting flights to Tyler from eight per day to four per day in protest for the city of Tyler not taking the side of American Airlines in the battle over the Wright Amendment that involves Southwest Airlines hub in Dallas, Love Field Airport.
On November 11, 2008, Tyler-Pounds Regional airport has announced plans to add a fourth American Eagle regional jet departure from Tyler, starting January 6, 2009. The new American Eagle flight is expected to leave Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport at 4:40 pm and land in Tyler at 5:25 pm; then depart from Tyler at 5:50 pm and arrive back at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport at 6:35 pm.
Continental Connection announced that it will be adding a daily flight to Tyler from George Bush Intercontinental Airport that will begin the same month as American Eagle plans to cut service from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

History
The airport was opened in November 1937 as Tyler Municipal Airport . During World War II the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Forces as a training base and renamed Pounds Field. At the end of the war the airfield was returned over to the local government for civil use and it was given its current name Tyler Pounds Regional Airport.
The Historic Aviation Memorial Museum (HAMM), a large aviation museum at the airport rented and moved into the old terminal building that has been closed since 2002.
