All of the 16 routes unveiled Monday come as the airline hopes to find a customer base ready to return to the skies.
"The past year has been a challenge for the travel industry, but with increased access to COVID-19 tests and vaccinations, we're starting to see that turnaround," Sun Country Airlines CEO Jude Bricker said in a statement.
Of Monday's new routes, nine are being added at Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP) — all to the new Sun Country destinations. Minnesota-based Sun Country operates its busiest base at MSP.
Among other Sun Country cities landing multiple new routes are Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Orlando (MCO) and Cancun (CUN).
