Back and Better Than Ever- Sun Country Airlines

By Jacobi Malavo


They may be small and based out of St. Paul Minnesota but Sun Country Airlines is known for its flight destinations which include the US, Mexico and the Caribbean as a small airline. This mighty little company seems to have a way of winning industry awards every year. This little engine that could has also fought to maintain their status as an airline that offers tremendous value that won't break the bank if you're on a budget. One example of this is that Sun Country has earned a spot in the top ten Travel and Leisure for four straight years. For four straight years Sun Country Airlines has been among the top ten in Travel & Leisure. Travel & Leisure has listed Sun Country among its top ten for four years running. For four years running Sun Country Airlines has been awarded a top ten position in Travel & Leisure. But that is not all - Conde Nast Traveler has chosen Sun Country Airlines for top honors for three years in a row. This article will offer you a glimpse into this amazing airline that is all about treating customers right.

Sun Country Airlines was in their heyday during the early 90s. The airline had made all the right moves, and that was reflected in their annual income. The fleet doubled in size as did the number of employees. But that was no accident because the company was being steered by highly experienced aviation and airline professionals. In those days, Sun Country flew to European destinations and even began flying military charter services to various points in the Middle East. It is completely to their credit that they could do that and still maintain a satisfied flying customer list.

Unfortunately, due to many reasons, Sun Country had to enter into bankruptcy protection by September 2010. In such matters, a judge in the appropriate court must approve a plan such as this. Additionally input will also come from creditors because it is their money that is as stake. When a company undergoes this kind of bankruptcy process, it is the creditors who must be taken care of, and that is the goal of Sun Country. These are complex affairs that have to be evaluated, and the end result involves monies being paid plus equity in lieu of cash.

Sun Country Charters is just one type of special program that the company provides. Actually this is nothing new because the company has been involved with chartered flight services for more than 25 years. Sun Country has a tremendous amount of experience in this area and they know what they are doing.

Sun Country Airlines has been through a tremendous amount since the early 80s. It emerged from a larger airline that went under, Braniff Airways. There have been very many highs and lows in the company's history. Even though they are a small regional, they managed to garner international awards for excellent service. The fighting spirit of this airline will pull them through this latest round of difficulties.
