If you are looking for some fun in the sun on a beach this winter, Sun Country Airlines has the answer for you. On Sept. 7, the airline announced new seasonal nonstop service from Denver to Mazatlán, Mexico, a new international destination for Denver International Airport (DEN).

“We are pleased that Sun Country Airlines continues to invest in Denver following their successful launch of nonstop service to Minneapolis in May 2016,” airport CEO Kim Day said. “It is always important for DEN to add new international destinations and this service will allow our passengers to enjoy another popular resort destination in Mexico just in time for a winter vacation.”

The new service will operate once a week on Wednesdays, from Jan. 24, to March 7. Flights are scheduled to depart DEN at noon and arrive at MZT at 2:45 p.m. Flights will operate using Boeing 737-800s. Sun Country Vacations flight and hotel packages are also available to book.

“At Sun Country, we love to fly our passengers to sunshine-filled destinations and are excited to partner with Denver International Airport to give our travelers access to experience all of what Mazatlán has to offer,” said Jude Bricker, president and CEO of Sun Country Airlines. “Mazatlán is a vibrant city that is sure to be a perfect fit for those planning their winter getaways.”

Currently, Mazatlán ranks as DEN’s second-largest unserved market in Mexico with 6,000 annual passengers. In addition, 42 percent of travel between Denver and Mazatlán takes place between January and March, making this seasonal flight service a great option for passengers.

“We are very pleased to have nonstop service from Denver to a wonderful Mazatlán market that offers the uniqueness of a true Mexico beach destination,” said Marco Antonio García Castro, Secretary of Tourism for the state. “We look forward to welcoming Sun Country Airlines and all guests from Colorado.”
