T'way Air


T'way Air Co., Ltd., formerly Hansung Airlines, is a South Korean low-cost airline based in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. It operates scheduled domestic, regional and long-haul flights from its two bases at Gimpo and Incheon.

History

Foundation as Hansung Airlines

T'Way's predecessor, Hansung Airlines, first obtained an air operator's certificate in April 2005 and received its first aircraft, an ATR 72 for its inaugural domestic services between Cheongju and Jeju shortly after. Hansung Airlines had planned to expand to international routes and subsequently ordered 20 ATR 72-500 aircraft. However, due to financial difficulties, Hansung Airlines ceased operations in 2009.

Relaunching as T'way Air

Hansung Airlines was subsequently reorganized and rebranded in 2010 after its shutdown. The 't' in T'way stands for together, today and tomorrow. The airline was established on 8 August 2010 with two Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The following month, the airline obtained a new air operator's certificate permitting domestic operations and commenced scheduled flights between Gimpo International Airport and Jeju International Airport.
In 2011, an additional AOC for international operations was granted. In October of the same year, T'way launched its first international service, to Bangkok. In 2013, the airline achieved a profit for the first time. In November that year, cargo services were launched.
As of 2019, it was the third largest Korean low-cost carrier in the international market, having carried 2.9 million domestic passengers and 4.2 million international passengers the year prior. Its international traffic had quadrupled in the three years leading up to 2019.
In April 2022, T'way received its first Airbus A330. In October 2022, T'way announced a route from Seoul to Sydney, which is its first long-haul connection. In October 2024, the airline inaugurated flights to Germany with a route between Seoul and Frankfurt, which it had been granted due to a concession deal as part of the merger between Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, which both serve Frankfurt. In the same month, the airline announced it plans to lease Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to facilitate its expansion plans until the delivery of its new Airbus A330neos.

Rebranding as Trinity Airways

After being acquired by, T'way Air is scheduled to be renamed to Trinity Airways, with a change in livery. The new livery will consist of large billboard titles on the front of the aircraft with a gray stripe running on the underbelly. The tail has a gray background with a triangle consiting of three colors: Pink, Yellow, and Blue. The full rebranding is expected begin in the second half of 2026.
