Commercial Service
American Eagle and United Express 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 United Express 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 announced plans to add a fourth American Eagle regional jet departure from Tyler, starting January 6, 2009. The new American Eagle flight was 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 would be adding a daily flight to Tyler from George Bush Intercontinental Airport that would begin the same month as American Eagle planned to cut service from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
