T'way Air Launches Irregular Flights Between Cheongju and Jeju... 'Virtual Launch Ceremony' Amid COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] T'way Air announced on the 27th that it started operating irregular flights on the Cheongju~Jeju route from the 25th. T'way Air's route offers 4 flights daily, totaling 296 flights and 55,944 seats.

T'way Air had previously opened a new branch at Cheongju Airport in mid-month to prepare for the launch. The inauguration ceremony for the Cheongju~Jeju route attracted attention as it was held online as part of 'social distancing' measures due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

In addition to the Cheongju~Jeju route, T'way Air plans to operate irregular flights on the Gimpo~Busan route for one month starting from the 1st of next month. It is also known that they are considering increasing flights depending on changes in domestic demand.

A T'way Air official explained, "With the expansion of newly launched routes recently, we expect to improve convenience for local residents who experienced inconvenience due to reduced flights after COVID-19 and also anticipate some performance improvement due to the recovery of domestic demand."

Meanwhile, to commemorate this new route launch, T'way Air is running a special fare promotion with one-way total fares of 10,900 KRW for Cheongju~Jeju and 14,900 KRW for Gimpo~Busan.
