The U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command awarded a $235.6K delivery order for domestic charter air transportation services to Sun Country, Inc. (doing business as Sun Country Airlines) on June 12, 2017, with performance at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. This firm fixed-price delivery order was issued without set-aside designation under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent contract, demonstrating Sun Country's qualification to compete on an unrestricted basis against other commercial air carriers. Sun Country, a for-profit commercial carrier headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation, LLC, specializes in providing comprehensive airlift services to the Department of Defense, including passenger transport, cargo movement, aeromedical evacuations, and logistics resupply operations utilizing its Boeing 737 fleet.
This delivery order represents a single task under what has evolved into a strategic Air Mobility Command relationship with Sun Country. The company currently maintains a $86.8M Indefinite Delivery Contract for Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) International Charter Airlift Services through September 2030, reflecting its expanded role in supporting military operations, homeland security missions, and humanitarian relief efforts. Additionally, Sun Country holds a position on the $1.5B Global Heavyweight Services contract administered by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, enabling the company to provide flexible and responsive air transportation solutions that augment Department of Defense airlift capacity across both domestic and international routes.
