Airline positioned for further MKE Growth later this year
MILWAUKEE (August 26, 2021) – Sun Country Airlines launched its new nonstop service from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport this morning. The airline offers weekly flights every Thursday to Las Vegas and every Saturday to Minneapolis.
“The addition of Sun Country gives Milwaukee travelers another option to head west, whether that’s to Nevada or to Minnesota,” Airport Director Brian Dranzik said. “With affordable fares and nonstop flights, Sun Country gives travelers more reasons to support our hometown by flying from our community’s airport.”
Sun Country will add more destinations from MKE later this year, when nonstop flights to Fort Myers, Florida; Phoenix, Arizona; and Cancun, Mexico start in December.
“We are happy to offer folks in Milwaukee our low fares and more flexibility as they plan their next nonstop trip to Las Vegas or the Twin Cities. We know many of our Minnesota customers have friends and family in Wisconsin, and we look forward to making it even easier for them to travel between Minneapolis-St. Paul and Milwaukee,” said Brian Davis, Sun Country Airlines Chief Marketing Officer.
Sun Country is based in Minneapolis and operates a fleet of Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Tickets for all flights are available now at suncountry.com or on popular travel websites.
MKE currently offers nonstop flights to 40+ destinations coast-to-coast, and 160 international destinations are available from Milwaukee with just one connection. MKE is served by Air Canada, Alaska, American, Contour, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, Sun Country and United. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at mitchellairport.com.
Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport is owned by Milwaukee County and operated by the Department of Transportation, Airport Division, under the policy direction of the Milwaukee County Executive and the County Board of Supervisors. The Airport is entirely funded by user fees; no property tax dollars are used for the Airport’s capital improvements or for its day-to-day operation.
