"T'way Air, the first national airline, launches new service to Kyrgyzstan"

T'way Air announced on the 18th that it will launch a new regular route to Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia in June.

The Bishkek route, operating once a week (Sundays) from June 11, departs Incheon Airport at 4:00 PM and arrives at Bishkek Airport at 8:30 PM local time. The flight takes approximately 7 hours, with a time difference of 3 hours behind Korea.

The Kyrgyzstan route was newly allocated (twice a week) through the 2020 traffic rights distribution, and T'way Air plans to consider operating twice a week in the future depending on aircraft and route schedule operations.
