Sun Country Airlines continues to grow its leisure-oriented network for Minnesota and Midwest customers with two new Florida destinations as a part of its winter schedule. The airline is launching a new service to Destin-Fort Walton Beach (VPS), from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) beginning in April 2023. This service will start on February 2, 2023, in response to strong customer interest and anticipating that customers will want additional options to travel to Florida as the Gulf Coast recovers from Hurricane Ian.
Service between MSP and Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB), will launch on February 3, 2023. Melbourne is the 12th airport in Florida Sun Country will fly with scheduled service.
Grant Whitney, Chief Revenue Officer, Sun Country said: “Minnesotans travel to Florida more than any other state in the winter. Sun Country offers the most nonstop destinations to Florida from MSP, and we are thrilled to be adding both Fort Walton Beach and Melbourne for our loyal vacationers and retirees who winter in Florida.”
Sun Country is the only airline to operate nonstop service from MSP to the five airports on Florida’s west coast, including Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, Tampa, and St. Petersburg.
Sun Country Airlines operates 102 routes serving 82 airports across the United States, Mexico, Central America, Canada, and the Caribbean.
