T'way Air to Expand International Flights from July..."Enhancing Customer Convenience"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] T'way Air is set to significantly expand its international flight operations.

On the 15th, T'way Air announced that it has started selling tickets and will greatly increase its international flight schedule from July to enhance customer flight convenience.

To increase the number of flights on major routes frequently used by customers during the summer season, such as Southeast Asia, Japan, and Oceania, the airline is swiftly preparing by managing crew schedules and maintenance.

First, the Incheon?Singapore route, operated with the large A330 aircraft and launched at the end of May as the first domestic low-cost carrier (LCC) to serve this route, will increase flights from twice a week to more frequent operations in July. Additionally, the popular vacation destinations Incheon?Bangkok and Incheon?Da Nang routes will increase from twice a week to seven times a week starting July 1, with the Da Nang route operating up to two round trips per day from the end of July.

Furthermore, the Incheon?Kalibo route will begin operating twice a week from the 22nd and increase to seven times a week from July 22. The Incheon?Cebu route, starting operations on the 30th of this month, will also expand from four times a week to seven times a week by the end of July.

The Japan routes, where group tours for tourism purposes have become possible, will also see increased flights. The Incheon?Narita (Tokyo) and Incheon?Osaka routes will increase from twice a week to seven times a week starting July 8. The Osaka route plans to deploy A330 aircraft and expand to up to three round trips per day from the end of July once visa exemptions for entry into Japan are granted. The Incheon?Fukuoka, Incheon?Sapporo, and Incheon?Okinawa routes will continue to increase flights and resume operations.

The Saipan and Guam routes, which resumed operations for the first time since COVID-19, will increase to daily flights seven times a week from the end of July. The Gimpo?Songsan, Incheon?Kaohsiung, and Incheon?Hong Kong routes are scheduled to resume sequentially starting in September, the second half of the year.

Some China routes for business demand will also continue operations. The Incheon?Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia route will newly launch in July with the deployment of the large A330 aircraft.

Expansion of international flights from regional airports is also actively underway. Since the end of May, T'way Air resumed the Daegu?Da Nang route through Daegu International Airport and will increase to daily flights from the end of July. The Daegu?Bangkok route, which launched on June 23, will also increase to daily flights from the end of July. Additionally, resumption of flights to Japanese destinations such as Osaka and Fukuoka will expand, contributing to the revitalization of regional airports and enhancing passenger convenience.

A T'way Air official stated, “We will do our best to enhance travel convenience for customers exhausted by COVID-19 through swift resumption of international flights,” adding, “We will also continue thorough preparations to ensure customers can board with confidence through the best safety operation system and hygiene inspections.”
