Sun Country Airlines, based in Minneapolis, has expressed openness to potential mergers with other airlines. However, it emphasizes that such moves are not the primary focus for its future as an ultra-low-cost carrier.
The airline operates from Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport and serves approximately 140 destinations across the United States, Mexico, Canada, Central America, and the Caribbean. Its fleet consists of 45 passenger aircraft and 12 cargo-only planes operated for Amazon Prime.
Dave Davis, Chief Financial Officer of Sun Country Airlines, stated at a recent Barclays Industrial Select Conference that while the airline is open to mergers and acquisitions, this is not their primary strategy. He said: "We think there are combinations with Sun Country that make sense and we continue to look at things. It’s certainly not our base plan, but I do believe the industry needs to consolidate on the low-cost side. It feels like some combinations are coming."
