New carrier signs long-term airport lease

Monday, Oct. 4, 1999 | noon

Sun Country Airlines, which began daily scheduled service to Las Vegas in June, has signed a long-term agreement with McCarran International Airport.

Terms were not disclosed, but Sun Country said it achieved signatory status. That gives the Minneapolis-based carrier exclusive rights to one of McCarran's gates and more flexibility to expand.

Sun Country offers between 40 and 50 flights a week to McCarran from several destinations. Of those, about 40 are regularly scheduled flights from Minneapolis, Dallas, Detroit and Milwaukee. The company also continues to operate several charter flights a week to Las Vegas from Houston and St. Louis.
