From turf to tarmac: Inside our partnership with Minnesota United 

Updated: Apr 3



This weekend marks the start of the eighth season in Major League Soccer (MLS) for our friends at Minnesota United FC (MNUFC), and we're ready to help them kick things off.


Since 2022, we have welcomed Minnesota United onboard as their Official Airline partner. In addition to flying the team to matches across North America, we also offer convenient non-stop service to select MNUFC away matches during the season so fans can support the Loons throughout the season.  


“Sun Country has enjoyed working with Minnesota United to bring both their team and fans to matches across the country,” Grant Whitney, senior vice president and chief revenue officer at Sun Country Airlines. “We look forward to continuing to support MNUFC on the road and back home in Minnesota.” 


Additionally, attendees at Allianz Field this season can check out fun pre-game activities during the Lawn Layover – our sponsored event at select home games. From local music to food trucks and fun partner activities, the Lawn Layover is an excellent way to kick off your match day experience.

Did you know that we have provided charter service for the entirety of the MLS since 2021? This agreement has provided a more convenient and succinct air travel experience for teams during the season.  


Minnesota United’s first home game is Saturday, March 2 versus Columbus. We are looking forward to another exciting season in Minnesota. Come on You Loons!
