Sun Country Airlines, a for-profit commercial air carrier headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, received a delivery order award valued at $161,000 from the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command for domestic charter air transportation services. The delivery order, awarded on May 15, 2017, with an ultimate completion date of May 21, 2017, represents performance at Victorville, California. This award was issued on a firm fixed-price basis with no set-aside designation, allowing Sun Country to compete directly against other qualified carriers. The contract falls under the parent vehicle "Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016," which supports the Air Force's core mission to provide flexible and responsive airlift capabilities for personnel movement, cargo transport, and logistics resupply operations across the Department of Defense enterprise.
Sun Country Airlines, a subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation LLC, has established itself as a critical provider of air transportation services to the federal government, operating a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft. The company's delivery order awards from Air Mobility Command have historically ranged from approximately $3,000 to $1.98 million in ceiling value, covering diverse transportation requirements including passenger movement and aeromedical evacuations. Sun Country's competitive positioning and unrestricted award status reflect its qualification to deliver standardized federal air transportation services, with performance locations spanning military installations, domestic airfields, and international locations in support of military operations and homeland security missions.
