Trans World AirlinesTW

T'way Air is a South Korean low-cost carrier headquartered in Seoul, operating from dual hubs at Incheon International Airport (ICN) and Daegu International Airport (TAE). Founded in 2010, the airline has grown to become one of Korea's significant budget carriers, offering affordable travel to domestic and international destinations across Asia and the Pacific.

The airline operates an all-Boeing 737-800 fleet, serving popular leisure routes including Japan, Southeast Asia, China, Taiwan, and Guam. T'way Air's distinctive orange and yellow livery makes it easily recognizable at airports throughout the region. The name "T'way" combines "Ticket" and "Freeway," reflecting the airline's mission to provide accessible air travel.

As an independent low-cost carrier not affiliated with any global alliance, T'way Air offers competitive base fares with optional add-ons for baggage, meals, and seat selection. The airline is particularly strong on routes between Korea and Japan, competing directly with other Korean LCCs like Jeju Air and Jin Air.
