Sun Country Airlines, and its parent company Petters Aviation both filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection today.

“We were forced to take this action as a result of recent events at Petters Group Worldwide,” Sun Country CEO Stan Gadek said in a prepared statement.

The move comes after former Petters Chairman Tom Petters was arrested last week on charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, money-laundering and obstruction of justice.
