Sun Country Airlines, a Minneapolis-based commercial air carrier and subsidiary of Minnesota Aviation LLC, was awarded a delivery order valued at $87,200 on May 16, 2019, for domestic charter air transportation services. The order, which was completed on June 20, 2019, was issued by the Air Mobility Command, the transportation and logistics component of the U.S. Air Force. The contract was structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order with no set-aside designation, reflecting an unrestricted competitive procurement. The performance location was designated as Ontario, California, where Sun Country would have mobilized its Boeing 737 fleet to fulfill the domestic charter requirements.
This delivery order represents one of numerous awards Sun Country has received from Air Mobility Command for charter airlift services supporting military operations and Department of Defense transportation requirements. As a certified provider within the federal air transportation contracting ecosystem, Sun Country subsequently expanded its relationship with the department, eventually securing a major $86.8 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for Civil Reserve Air Fleet International Charter Airlift Services in October 2024. This broader positioning, combined with the company's inclusion on the $1.5 billion Global Heavyweight Services contract administered by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, establishes Sun Country as a critical commercial air carrier supporting the department's domestic and international transportation and logistics operations.
