"We're excited to offer travelers affordable access to exciting new destinations including some of the most beautiful coastal towns on the East Coast, the Great Lakes, and Canada," said Sun Country Airlines Chief Revenue Officer Grant Whitney. "We look forward to welcoming guests onboard to enjoy our many amenities like free inflight entertainment, complimentary nonalcoholic beverage service, and comfortable reclining seats with in-seat power on their way to their next great vacation."

The airline also announced it will be continuing nonstop service from Minneapolis to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, Asheville Regional Airport, Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, and General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sun Country has also extended its flight schedule through early September 2022, offering over 70 destinations for customers to choose from.

Sun Country is an ultra-low-cost carrier and, unlike Spirit and Frontier, offers onboard amenities like free soda, tea, and coffee, complimentary movies streamed to personal devices and reclining seats. The carrier prides itself on its flexible business model that expands its services beyond just commercial operations, including charter business and a cargo partnership with Amazon.

Sun Country signed a deal to transport cargo under the Amazon Air brand just months before COVID-19 devastated the airline industry. The airline has a dedicated cargo fleet made up of Boeing 737-800 freighters, which is rare for US carriers. Alaska Airlines is the only other carrier in the country to have a separate fleet of cargo planes.

The Minnesota-based airline started flying on behalf of Amazon in May 2020, and the operation helped it stay afloat during the pandemic. However, with increased passenger demand, combined with the company's charter and cargo businesses, Sun Country is ready to continue its commercial expansion.
