Sun Country Airlines - The Best Find A Way To Keep Flying






by Jacobi Malavo


It is true that a company's operating principles help to distinguish it, and that is very true of Sun Country Airlines. Decades ago a large airline company had to cease operations, and it is from that even that Sun Country arose. Unfortunately, national events necessitated Sun Country Airlines to halt all flying operations in December of 2001. But that would not be the end of this company as they were brought back to life with the help of investors. However, once again, there were difficult times in the past several years, and as of December 2010 are in the early processes of bankruptcy reorganization. But none of that is all too surprising if you know the spirit that was made a part of this small airline back in the early days.

When you look at a lot of the history of Sun Country Airlines, you will recognize many other airlines with the common theme of survival. The official date of birth for Sun Country Airlines was June, 1999. Unfortunately that was a very difficult time for all airlines, and then to make matters worse they were embroiled in price wars with each other. Very soon they had lost a great of money, something like 60 million when entering 2000.

They could not sustain any more losses after September 11th happened. By early December, just a few short months later, the company ceased scheduled operations, and everything came to a grinding halt very shortly thereafter. In July of 2010 they announced their placement as a top 10 domestic airline in Travel & Leisure magazine. This is a big part of the recognition given by Travel & Leisure's World's Best Service Award for the year 2010. This means that Sun Country's hard work is beginning to pay off as a runner for the Travel & Leisure World's Best Service Award for 2010. This recognition puts Sun Country in the running for the World's Best Service Award given By Travel & Leisure Magazine. You'll be interested to know that the basis for this award is the survey questionnaires taken by actual travelers on various airlines. Customer satisfaction is one of the areas ranked for personal attention and service. Only those domestic airline carriers eligible for the pool are included in the surveys. This makes Sun Country feel quite prestigious in the industry.

Sun Country Charters is just one type of special program that the company provides. Sun Country has been offering charter services for a very long time - about 25 years. They make their chartered flights available to groups and organizations regardless of their size.

Sun Country Airlines was allowed to file for bankruptcy, however they are still alive and in operations. So that means this tough little airline is still alive and kicking. As of late 2010, the airline is just beginning to roll out their reorganization plans. Considering their overall founding philosophy, we are confident about the future for them. This is smart airline that was founded by highly experienced aviation professionals. That is a reputation that has served them very well with various regulators. They will put a smart plan together that will bring them into full forward momentum next year and beyond.
