History

T'way Air Co., Ltd. was established on 8 August 2010 with two Boeing 737-800s. The following month, the airlines obtained Domestic Air Operator Certificate(A.O.C.) and launched the service between Gimpo Int'l Airport and Jeju Int'l Airport.[1] Prior to its dissolution before 2010, T'way Air was known as Hansung Airlines. In 2013, within just three years after the foundation, T'way Air achieved a profit.[2] In 2014, the airlines recorded the highest load factors in Gimpo-Jeju flight among the seven Korean air carriers.[3] In March 2014, T'way Air introduced its 7th aircraft (B737-800) and another aircraft will be added in Aug 2014. The airlines will launch service between Daegu Airport to Jeju Int'l Airport on March 30, 2014.[4][5]
