Sun Country Airlines, a commercial air carrier headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, received a domestic charter air transportation delivery order valued at $175,000 from the Air Mobility Command (AMC), the airlift and tanker operations component of the United States Air Force. Awarded on October 6, 2017, with an ultimate completion date of October 16, 2017, this firm fixed-price delivery order was issued without set-aside designation, indicating unrestricted competition. The work is to be performed in Riverside, California. This delivery order falls under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 parent indefinite delivery vehicle and represents Sun Country's continued provision of airlift capabilities to support Department of Defense transportation requirements.
Sun Country Airlines operates a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft and specializes in providing comprehensive air transportation services to federal agencies, including passenger transport, cargo movement, aeromedical evacuations, and logistics resupply operations. The company's selection reflects its qualification to compete directly against other commercial carriers for AMC's domestic charter airlift needs. AMC leverages such commercial air carrier contracts to augment Department of Defense airlift capacity and maintain operational flexibility across domestic and international routes in support of military operations, homeland security missions, and humanitarian relief efforts.
