According to the Duluth Airport Authority, this popular seasonal route from Sun Country is returning due to the amount of demand from travelers looking to escape Minnesota for some beach time in Southwest Florida.

Tom Werner, Duluth Airport Authorities’ Executive Director, is asking that the Northland support this route in hopes that an expansion will happen in the future, "If the route is to expand its season in Duluth going forward, we as a community must demonstrate demand to do so," he said in a press release.

Currently, United Airlines offers three daily nonstop flights to Chicago and Delta Air Lines offers three daily nonstop flights to Minneapolis/St. Paul from Duluth, so this added flight is a welcome addition to the lineup.
