“This is a great addition to Sun Country’s schedule,” said Stan Gadek, president and CEO of Sun Country Airlines. “We would like to thank the congressional delegations of both Michigan and Minnesota, especially Senators Stabenow, Klobuchar and Franken as well as Congressman James Oberstar, for their support. We would also like to thank Michigan State University and the Capital Region International Airport for partnering with Sun Country to make this award possible.”

Sun Country will offer daily service featuring modern, fuel efficient, Boeing 737 aircraft with both First Class and Coach service from Terminal 2/Humphrey in Minneapolis/St. Paul to Washington National Airport. “This service will provide a great benefit to customers in both Minnesota and Michigan by providing a competitive low fare alternative,” continued Gadek.

Sun Country will commence service December 22, 2010 to Orlando, Fort Myers, Las Vegas, Cancun and Montego Bay from the Capital Region International Airport.

In addition the Airline recently announced twice weekly service from Minneapolis/St. Paul to London Gatwick Airport commencing May 27, 2011 and operating through September 4, 2011.
