On April 27, Sun Country Airlines announced that it will begin service to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) beginning Nov. 25.
The announcement is part of a larger expansion by the airline, as it announced 18 new nonstop routes and welcomed nine new airports to its growing network.
The new flights will operate four times weekly.
“With more and more people excited to resume traveling, we’re excited to be able to offer them another option to get away this winter to enjoy the Sunshine State,” said Sun Country Airlines Chief Revenue Officer Grant Whitney. “We’re know there is pent-up demand for convenient, affordable travel, and we’re here to help folks enjoy the vacations they’ve been dreaming about.”
With today’s expansion, Sun Country Airlines will operate a total of 93 routes across 69 airports in the United States, Mexico, Central America and Caribbean. Sun Country will now offer service to five different airports on Florida’s Gulf Coast, providing visitors to the area with the flexibility to choose the destination airport that best suits their needs.
“We are excited to launch flights to/from Minneapolis-St. Paul on Sun Country Airlines this fall as regular scheduled service. After years of charter service operations at PIE, we welcome Sun Country as a key airline partner. We look forward to welcoming Minnesota to the Sunshine City,” stated St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) Director Tom Jewsbury.
Sun Country’s customer experience includes free in-flight entertainment, a new mobile-friendly website with more self-service tools, and new interiors on each aircraft. Sun Country provides safe, reliable, hassle-free flights at affordable prices with warm and friendly service. The airline’s mission is to connect guests to their favorite people and places, to create lifelong memories and transformative experiences.
