00:00Minnesotans trying to get away for MEA break next month may quickly notice a familiar airline isn't flying out of
00:06MSP as much.
00:07Sun Country is flying 20% less in October 2026 than it did last year.
00:14And if you look back two years ago, that difference is even greater.
00:18Thrifty travelers Kyle Potter says so far Allegiant Air's $1.5 billion acquisition of Sun Country hasn't been exactly what
00:25the airline has promised.
00:27Not just that Allegiant hasn't added any additional service after, you know, really officially taking the reins of the airline,
00:35you know, a couple of months ago.
00:36But that they've made some pretty significant reductions in where and how often Sun Country is flying.
00:44According to Potter, Allegiant says these reductions are temporary as the airline tries to replace pilots who have left Sun
00:51Country for other opportunities.
00:52And so it just flies in the face of the promise that Allegiant made to, and certainly Minnesota travelers, but
01:01also to regulators.
