Year in review: Reflecting on 2025

As we step into 2026, we’re taking a moment to look back on a year that kept us moving, growing, and doing what we love most: getting people where they want to go. 

2025 reminded us why we exist in the first place. Because travel should feel doable. Because seeing the people you love or finally taking that trip you’ve been planning matters. And because when we show up every day focused on safety, reliability, connection, and affordability, good things follow. 

Throughout the year, we connected travelers to 101 destinations across 113 routes, carrying millions of guests to weddings, warm beaches, college drop-offs, reunions, and well-earned getaways. We hit our highest passenger count of the year in early July, a clear sign that summer travel is alive and well, and set a new company record with 221 flights in a single day. Those numbers matter, but what they really represent are memories made and moments that didn’t have to be missed. 

Behind the scenes, our operation grew in meaningful ways. We flew more departures than ever before, expanded our cargo business by adding eight Amazon freighters in just five months, and doubled daily cargo flights. We also welcomed new aircraft into our fleet, including the first two of our 737-900ERs, giving us more flexibility on some of our most popular routes and setting us up for the future. 

We were named the 2025 Market Leader of the Year by Air Transport World, launched the new Sun Country Visa Signature® credit card built for leisure travelers, introduced a new Plus status in our loyalty program, and debuted the Get To Going Series, a travel documentary that celebrates experiences that feel aspirational but still attainable. 

And, as always, community stayed at the heart of what we do. We completed more than 100 Make-A-Wish flights, helping kids and their families reach moments filled with joy and wonder. We supported future aviators through scholarships and STEM programs, and partnered with local organizations in ways that made a real impact close to home. 

None of this happens without the trust of the customers who choose to fly with us. Thank you for traveling with Sun Country in 2025. Here’s to more places to go, more memories to make, and a year ahead that’s ready for takeoff.
