Sun Country Airlines, a Boeing 737-equipped commercial air carrier headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, received a domestic charter air transportation delivery order valued at $95.8K from the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command. The contract, awarded on January 31, 2018, with an ultimate completion date of February 1, 2018, was issued on a firm fixed-price basis without any set-aside designation, allowing Sun Country to compete directly against other qualified carriers. The place of performance was Riverside, California, and this delivery order was issued under the parent Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 contract vehicle, which establishes the framework for the Air Force to procure routine charter airlift services from commercial carriers.
This award reflects the Air Mobility Command's reliance on commercial aviation partners to supplement organic airlift capacity for personnel movement and logistics operations. Sun Country's extensive experience providing domestic and international charter services, aeromedical evacuations, and cargo transport to the Department of Defense demonstrates its capability to fulfill the Air Force's transportation requirements. The company's continued selection for delivery orders through competitive procurements underscores its established qualification as a trusted federal contractor for critical military airlift operations.
