Sun Country Airlines is expanding its cargo fleet by adding eight planes, increasing its total to 20. This move comes as passenger revenue declines, with a 9.9% drop in scheduled service in 2024 compared to the previous year. The airline's cargo business, particularly its partnership with Amazon, is growing rapidly, with revenue expected to double by February 2026. In 2024, Sun Country reported $914 million in passenger revenue, down from 2023, while net income reached a record $13.4 million in the fourth quarter. Despite challenges in passenger traffic, Sun Country remains profitable, focusing on underserved markets. The airline is the second-largest carrier at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, holding an 11.5% market share.
