T'way Air Surpasses 400,000 Cumulative Passengers on Incheon-Sydney Route
Successful Launch of First Long-Haul Route
Active Belly Cargo Operations
Daily Flights Starting in October
T'way Air's first long-haul route between Incheon and Sydney has surpassed a cumulative total of 400,000 passengers.
On July 24, T'way Air announced that since the route's initial launch in December 2022, it has operated a total of 1,350 flights on this route and transported approximately 120,000 passengers annually on average.
Since its launch, the average load factor on this route has remained at a high level, close to 90 percent. The route has been recognized for playing a pivotal role in revitalizing business and tourism exchanges between the two countries in the wake of COVID-19, serving as a vital bridge for both people and goods.
The company has also achieved results in cargo transport, in addition to passenger service. By utilizing the lower deck (belly cargo) of its large A330 aircraft, T'way Air has transported electronics, auto parts, and machinery. As a result, cargo volume on this route grew nearly threefold, from about 900 tons in 2023 to approximately 2,700 tons in 2025.
Currently, the Incheon-Sydney route operates three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays), but starting from the winter schedule in October, it is scheduled to increase to one flight daily. T'way Air plans to continue expanding its routes in the second half of the year by introducing new aircraft such as the A330-900NEO mid- and large-sized planes and the B737-8.
Meanwhile, T'way Air recently resolved at a shareholders' meeting to change its corporate name to Trinity Air. Operations under the Trinity Air name will commence once all necessary approvals from relevant domestic and international authorities have been obtained.
