T'way's Noisy Paris Route to Launch Service from End of Next Month

Olympic Boom Fizzles Out
Rome and Barcelona Routes Launch in August and September

T'way Air will begin operating flights to Paris, France starting at the end of next month.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the aviation industry on the 11th, T'way Air will launch flights on the Incheon-Paris route four times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday) starting from the 28th of next month. From October 6th, the frequency will increase to five times a week, including Sundays.

T'way Air started accepting reservations for the Paris route from 10 a.m. on the same day. Special discount promotions will also be held.

Earlier, the European Union (EU) competition authorities approved the merger of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines on the condition that Korean Air transfer its European traffic rights to other airlines. Accordingly, Korean Air transferred traffic rights for four routes?Paris, Frankfurt in Germany, Rome in Italy, and Barcelona in Spain?to T'way Air.

T'way Air plans to deploy a long-haul A330-200 aircraft (246 seats) leased from Korean Air on the Paris route. The airline also plans to add seven more aircraft on its own within this year.

Due to the later-than-expected launch, it will be difficult to benefit from the Paris Olympic special demand. The Paris Olympics will be held from the 26th of this month to the 11th of next month.

Meanwhile, T'way Air will start operating the Incheon-Rome route three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday) from the 8th of next month, and the Barcelona route three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) from September 11th. The A330-200 aircraft will also be deployed on these routes. The Frankfurt route is planned to begin operations in October.
