Sun Country Airlines, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation LLC, was awarded a delivery order on April 29, 2019, valued at $91,000 for domestic charter air transportation services. The contract, which was completed by May 2, 2019, represents a firm fixed-price arrangement with no set-aside designation, allowing Sun Country to compete directly against other qualified carriers. The work was performed in Alexandria, Louisiana, and funded by Air Mobility Command (AMC), the Air Force's operational command responsible for providing rapid, global airlift and tanker support to U.S. military forces and national security partners.
This delivery order exemplifies Sun Country's established role as a critical provider of air transportation services to the Department of Defense through AMC's charter airlift programs. The company's Boeing 737 fleet supports a range of military and humanitarian missions, including personnel movement, cargo transport, and logistics resupply operations. Air Mobility Command leverages commercial air carriers like Sun Country to augment government airlift capacity and provide flexible, responsive transportation solutions that complement organic military assets.
