The United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) has issued an order selecting Sun Country Airlines (NASDAQ: SNCY) to provide scheduled passenger service to the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport under the Essential Air Service program.
“We look forward to working with Sun Country and thank the Department for expediting their carrier selection process.”
Sun Country Airlines will provide two flights per week to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and at least two flights per week seasonally to Ft. Myers, FL, Orlando, FL and Las Vegas, NV. The rotation of the seasonal hub will adjust based upon the time of year.
“The decision by the US DOT to select Sun Country Airlines to serve the region provides an exciting opportunity to work with an Ultra-Low-Cost Carrier that is already utilized by many area travelers,” said Charity Zich, Airport Director. “We look forward to working with Sun Country and thank the Department for expediting their carrier selection process.”
Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, Sun Country Airlines flies 98 routes and serves 78 cities through the United States, Mexico, Central America, Canada and the Caribbean.
An official start date for the new service is expected in the coming weeks, but service is planned to start in early December with tickets available to purchase soon. Schedules and ticket availability will be announced on the airport website WITH AN EASY CLICK HERE.
