T'way Air Launches New Route to Croatia... First LCC to Enter Europe

T'way Air announced on the 14th that it will launch a new regular route between Incheon and Zagreb, Croatia. This is the first time a domestic low-cost carrier (LCC) has expanded its air routes to Europe.

T'way Air will open ticket sales for the new route to Zagreb, Croatia, at 10 a.m. on the 15th. The new service will operate three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) starting from May 16. T'way Air plans to deploy an A330-300 aircraft (347 seats) to enhance travel convenience for tourists and business customers between the two countries.

The outbound flight departs Incheon Airport at 11:05 a.m., arriving at Bishkek Airport at 3:30 p.m. After a stopover of about one hour for refueling, the flight continues to Zagreb International Airport, arriving at 7:25 p.m. The total flight time to Zagreb is approximately 15 hours (including refueling time).

The return flight operates non-stop, departing Zagreb International Airport at 8:55 p.m. and arriving at Incheon Airport at 2:50 p.m. the next day. The flight time is about 11 hours. Through this new route launch, T'way Air plans to actively respond to the increasing demand for travel to Europe, including the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The one-way fare for the Incheon-Zagreb route, including fuel surcharges and airport taxes, starts at ▲Event Fare 461,000 KRW ▲Smart Fare 581,000 KRW per person.

A T'way Air representative said, "With this first European route launch, we expect tourism and business exchanges between Korea and Croatia to become more active," adding, "We will prioritize safe flights and enhance customer satisfaction through reasonable fares and services." T'way Air plans to introduce seven aircraft, including large planes, this year to expand other new medium- and long-haul routes.
