Sun Country Airlines is a new breed of hybrid low-cost air carrier that dynamically deploys shared resources across our synergistic passenger service (including Scheduled Service and Charter) and cargo service segments. By doing so, we generate high growth, high margins and strong cash flows with greater resilience than other passenger airlines. Based in Minnesota, we focus on serving leisure and VFR passengers, Charter customers, and providing CMI service to Amazon, with flights throughout the United States and to destinations in Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. We share resources, such as flight crews, across our Passenger and Cargo segments with the objective of generating higher returns and margins while mitigating the seasonality of our route network. We optimize capacity using an agile peak demand scheduling strategy which aims to shift flying to markets during pe…4 From its latest annual report

Aircraft Fleet

We fly Boeing 737-NG aircraft, which we believe provides us significant operational and cost advantages compared to airlines that operate multiple fleet types. Flight crews are interchangeable across all of our aircraft, and maintenance, spare parts inventories and other operational support are highly simplified relative to more complex fleets. As of December 31, 2025, Sun Country's fleet consisted of 70 Boeing 737-NG aircraft, comprised of 65 Boeing 737-800s and five Boeing 737-900ERs. This includes 47 aircraft in the passenger fleet, 20 cargo operated aircraft through the A&R ATSA with Amazon, and three aircraft that are currently on lease to unaffiliated airlines. We do not have an aircraft order book because we only purchase mid-life aircraft. As a result, unlike many other airlines, we are not locked into large future capital expenditures. Rather, we opportunistically take advantage of aircraft prices with purchases at the time of our choosing.

The rest of Item 2

As of December 31, 2025, we operated 47 aircraft in our passenger fleet. Of these passenger aircraft, 12 were financed under finance leases. Of the 37 owned aircraft and Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease as of December 31, 2025, 31 aircraft were financed, five aircraft have been pledged to support the ability to efficiently utilize the Company's four-year $75,000 Revolving Credit Facility, and one aircraft was unencumbered. The average age of the passenger aircraft in our fleet was approximately 17 years as of December 31, 2025.

The Company also has three aircraft that are currently on lease to unaffiliated airlines, which is comprised of two Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease and one subleased aircraft. The Company owns five Boeing 737-900ERs, two of which are currently on lease. The Company is entitled to fixed payments over the remaining lease term for each aircraft, which expire at various dates through the fourth quarter of 2026. On each lease expiry date, the Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease will be redelivered to Sun Country and are expected to be inducted into the Company’s fleet. The average age of the Owned Aircraft Held for Operating lease in our fleet was approximately 11 years as of December 31, 2025.

The Company has subleased one Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which will be delivered to Sun Country on the sublease expiry date. The sublease is classified as an operating lease and does not relieve the Company of its primary lease obligations with the lessor. The Company operates the subleased aircraft under finance leases and will continue to be leased upon redelivery. The Company is entitled to fixed payments over the remaining lease term, with additional variable lease payments based on aircraft utilization. During the year ended December 31, 2025, an amendment was executed to extend the lease expiry term for the subleased aircraft through the second quarter of 2026. In February 2026, an additional amendment was executed to extend the sublease expiry term through the fourth quarter of 2026. Upon expiry of the sublease, the aircraft will be redelivered to the Company and is expected to be inducted into the Company's passenger fleet. The age of the one subleased aircraft was 13 years as of December 31, 2025.

We currently operate 20 aircraft dedicated to our Cargo business. These freighters had an average age of 23 years as of December 31, 2025. All freighters are subleased directly from Amazon and we operate them pursuant to the A&R ATSA. In June 2024, the Company entered into the A&R ATSA with Amazon that increased the number of Boeing 737-800 cargo aircraft that Sun Country operates on behalf of Amazon from 12 to 20. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received and placed in-service all eight additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA. In early 2026, the Company agreed to operate another two additional cargo aircraft, which will increase the total from 20 to 22 once the aircraft are received and placed in-service. Based upon review of the A&R ATSA, the sublease arrangement does not qualify as a lease under ASC 842, Leases, because the Company does not control the use of the aircraft. As such, no right-of-use asset and lease liability is recognized in these financial statements for the Amazon arrangement. This conclusion is unchanged from the original ATSA.

Facilities

In most of the airports we serve, we do not directly lease facilities, but rather operate under flexible common use agreements. This facilitates our strategy of entering and exiting markets to service periods of peak demand. Our terminal passenger service facilities, which include ticket counters, gate space, operational support space and baggage service offices, generally have month-to-month terms or are used on a per use basis. For any leased space we are typically responsible for maintenance, insurance and other facility-related expenses and services under these agreements. We also have entered into use agreements at many of the airports we serve that provide for the non-exclusive use of runways, taxiways and other facilities. Landing fees under these agreements are based on the number of landings and weight of the aircraft.

We primarily operate out of eight of the 16 gates at Terminal 2 at MSP, which we have access to on an "Enhanced Priority" basis through 2028, with common use access to the remaining gates. As of January 1, 2026, we have Enhanced Priority access to nine of the 16 gates, with common use access to the remaining gates. All other leases for our terminal passenger service facilities, which include operational support space and baggage service offices, are leased on a month-to-month basis.

Gate space and ticket counter space is used and billed on a per operation (each arrival and departure) basis until an annual operating cap is met. Our leases also include two hangars:

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Sun Country Airlines Holdings, LLC names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 12, 2026: 53 risks under these headings, as written.4

  • Risks Related to Our Industry
  • The demand for airline services is highly sensitive to changes in economic conditions, and a recession or similar or worse economic downturn in the United States would weaken demand for our services and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  • Inflation may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  • Our business has been, and in the future may be, materially adversely affected by the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Unexpected increases in the price of aircraft fuel or a shortage or disruption in the supply of aircraft fuel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  • The airline industry is exceedingly competitive, and we compete against new entrants, LCCs, ULCCs, legacy network airlines and cargo carriers, as well as air travel substitutes; if we are not able to compete successfully in our markets, our business will be materially adversely affected.
