About This Airport
No commercial shipment clears Dyess Air Force Base (IATA: DYS, ICAO: KDYS): this is a closed United States Air Force installation on the western edge of Abilene, Texas, not a freight facility. It hosts the 7th Bomb Wing with its B-1B Lancer fleet under Air Force Global Strike Command and, as a tenant unit, the 317th Airlift Wing flying C-130J transports for Air Mobility Command. There is no public access, no scheduled service, no cargo terminal and no commercial handling agent on the base. Civil traffic uses neighbouring Abilene Regional Airport (ABI), served by American Airlines through Envoy Air and by United with feeder flights to Dallas/Fort Worth. Air cargo for the Abilene area travels by truck: UPS and the US Postal Service road their overnight parcels in from Dallas–Fort Worth, roughly 280 kilometres and just over three hours away, while FedEx Express shipments are routed through Lubbock (LBB). In September 2024 the Air Force named Dyess among the first bases for the B-21 Raider, and both wings changed commanders in 2026.
