Now Brewing: Complimentary Fresh Brewed Caribou Coffee Available on Sun Country Airlines Flights
Caribou Coffee is the Official Coffee of Sun Country Airlines
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Starting this month, () passengers can now enjoy complimentary fresh brewed hot Caribou Coffee. Named the Official Coffee of Sun Country Airlines earlier this year, the airline has been serving the Minnesota-based coffee company's ready-to-drink Cold Brew Coffee since January.
Sun Country worked closely with Caribou to ensure high flavor quality and consistency in the onboard experience for all guests and invested more than $250,000 in equipment upgrades onboard.
“Developing a blend that satisfies the tastes of a broad group of travelers while also representing our quality promise and that performs well brewed at 30,000 feet gave us a unique opportunity to showcase the expertise of our sourcing and roasting teams,” says Brian Aliffi, Caribou Coffee’s senior manager of coffee sourcing. “This coffee is balanced and sweet with enough roasted note to combine with cream and sugar but can also easily be enjoyed on its own.”
“We are excited to finally roll out freshly brewed Caribou Coffee on our flights,” said Sun Country Airlines Chief Marketing Officer, Brian Davis. “It's the little things in a passenger’s travel experience, like sitting back with a warm cup of high-quality coffee, that sets Sun Country apart. Minnesota’s Caribou Coffee is a great partnership for our customers.”
Complimentary fresh brewed Caribou Coffee is now available onboard any of Sun Country’s more than 98 routes across 78 airports in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
