History

Hansung Airlines era

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

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

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. The 't' in T'way stands for together, today and tomorrow.

The airline was established on 8 August 2010 with two Boeing 737-800s. 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. The following year an AOC for international operations was awarded. In October it launched the first international service, to Bangkok. In 2013, the airline achieved a profit for the first time. In November that year cargo services were launched. In March 2014, T'way Air introduced its seventh Boeing 737-800 aircraft. In April 2022, T'way Air received its first Airbus A330. In October 2022, T'way announced it will serve the connection between Incheon and Sydney, which will be its first long-haul connection.
