Incentives for the Tyler Airport

TYLER – Tyler is working to get flights back to Tyler Pounds Regional Airport. The city council on Wednesday voted to update the airport’s airline incentive program. This includes waiving landing and space rental fees for 12 months for airlines willing to offer new service to the airport. Also included is a new instrument landing system to help planes land during bad weather. Something else that will help is the expansion of runway 4-22. The expansion project, which has been underway for several years, is expected to be completed by November. This will allow the airport to handle larger aircraft that can fly longer distances.
