"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).

Scroll down for a full list of Sun Country's new routes, all of which are lunching as seasonal service.
