Case Study: Sun Country Airlines achieves reduced mobile data costs and reliable mobile connectivity with Wandera

Sun Country Airlines - Customer Case Study

Sun Country Airlines, an award‑winning carrier headquartered in Minneapolis, faced rapidly rising cellular bills and bill‑shock as pilots and 400 flight attendants used iPads and iPhones for Electronic Flight Bags, manuals, payments and email. The airline needed to control data use without cutting access to FAA‑required services, so it selected Wandera’s mobile data management and security/web gateway solution (integrated with AirWatch/Workspace ONE) to enforce acceptable‑use policies and prevent costly overages.

Wandera deployed granular controls—whitelisting critical EFB apps, blacklisting non‑work services for certain groups, and allocating data allowances per user—while providing visibility and user education through its dashboard. The result: immediate stabilization of bills, no bill‑shock incidents since deployment, 500 MB of daily inappropriate usage prevented, three high‑severity security threats stopped per month, and lower overall data pool costs, allowing Sun Country Airlines to scale mobility with confidence using Wandera.
