MELBOURNE, FL (June 23, 2026) — Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) is pleased to announce the return of Sun Country Airlines' seasonal nonstop service between Melbourne and Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) for the 2027 season.
Beginning January 22, 2027, travelers will once again have convenient nonstop access between Florida's Space Coast and the Twin Cities, reconnecting family and friends while providing visitors with easy access to one of Florida's most sought-after destinations.
Since launching at MLB in 2022, the seasonal Minneapolis-St. Paul route has become a popular option for both local travelers and seasonal visitors. The service connects the Space Coast with a region that shares strong ties to Florida, serving residents who travel regularly between the Midwest and Central Florida.
"We are excited to welcome Sun Country Airlines back to Melbourne Orlando International Airport," said Greg Donovan, A.A.E., Executive Director of Melbourne Orlando International Airport. "The return of this route reflects the strong demand we've seen from both Space Coast travelers and visitors from the Twin Cities region. It provides another convenient nonstop option for our community while bringing more visitors to Florida's Space Coast during our winter travel season. We appreciate Sun Country's continued confidence in our market and look forward to another successful season together."
In addition to serving Space Coast residents traveling to Minnesota and beyond, the seasonal route supports tourism throughout the region by bringing visitors seeking warm weather, beaches, cruises, and outdoor recreation. Located less than 30 miles from Port Canaveral, MLB serves as a convenient gateway to Florida's Space Coast and the world's busiest cruise port.
Travelers flying the route will enjoy MLB's convenient location in the heart of the Space Coast, along with easy terminal access, close-in parking, shorter security lines, and a streamlined travel experience from curb to gate.
Sun Country Airlines will operate the seasonal service beginning January 22, 2027, with the final scheduled flight of the season currently planned for April 2, 2027. Flight schedules and booking information are available through Sun Country Airlines.
