The airline also operates expanded charter operations and is a contract cargo operator for Amazon Air. According to Sun Country,

“We focus on serving leisure and visiting friends and relatives (“VFR”) passengers and charter customers and providing CMI service to Amazon, with flights to destinations in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. Based in Minnesota, we operate an agile network that includes our scheduled service business and our synergistic charter and cargo businesses.
