History

Hansung Airlines era

Hansung Airlines, the beginning of T'Way Air, got the Air Operation Certificate in April 2005[4] and receives first aircraft, ATR 72[5] and operates Cheongju - Jeju.[6]

Hansung Airlines had planned to expand to international routes and ordered 20 of ATR 72-500,[7] however due to financial difficulties, Hansung Airlines ceased operation in 2009.[8]

Relaunching as T'way Air

T'way Air began as Hansung Airlines (한성항공), which operated between 2005 and 2008. The company was reorganized and rebranded in 2010.[2] The 't' in T'way stands for together, today and tomorrow.[9]

The airline was established on 8 August 2010 with two Boeing 737-800s.[10] The following month, the airline obtained an air operator's certificate (AOC) permitting domestic flights and commenced operations with services between Gimpo International Airport and Jeju International Airport.[11] The following year an AOC for international operations was awarded. In October it launched the first international service, to Bangkok.[12] In 2013, the airline achieved a profit for the first time.[13] In November that year cargo services were launched.[14] In March 2014, T'way Air introduced its seventh Boeing 737-800 aircraft. In April 2022, T'way Air received its first Airbus A330.[15][16] In October 2022, T'way announced it will serve the connection between Incheon and Sydney, which will be its first long-haul connection.[17][18]
