T'way Air

This South Korean budget airline was originally known as Hansung Airlines. Following financial difficulty, the airline was relaunched and rebranded in 2010 with the new name. Business is booming, with plans to purchase seven additional aircraft in 2024, taking its total number of aircraft to around 40. 2023 marked the first time revenue beat pre-pandemic levels, with profits in the region of $25 million. The company is headquartered in Seoul, with hubs at the city’s two main airports - Gimpo International Airport and Incheon International Airport.

T'Way Air serves a range of domestic destinations, including Seoul, Jeju and Busan, but it is predominantly an international airline. Destinations include Sydney, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Cebu, Singapore, Bangkok and Hanoi. The airline has made a recent foray into Europe too, with Seoul to Zagreb flights operating after a five year hiatus, and plans to launch routes to Paris, Rome, Barcelona and Frankfurt.
