If you are arriving by air, we are able to pick you up at Tyler Pounds Regional Airport in Tyler, Texas (TYR).   You can fly to the Tyler (TYR) airport connecting through Dallas (DFW) or Houston (IAH) Texas. American Airlines (American Eagle) flies from Dallas to Tyler and Continental Airlines (Sky West/Continental Connection) flies from Houston to Tyler.

If you decide to terminate your flight in Dallas (DFW), you will need to make your own arrangements to travel to Mercy Ships International Operations Center by taking the Tyler Shuttle Service or renting a car.
