Sydney Airport has secured Korean low-cost carrier T’way Air’s first long haul service with a new four-weekly direct to Seoul Incheon boosting tourism from this important market and delivering greater connectivity between the two gateway cities in Australia and the Republic of Korea.
T’way Air’s inaugural Australian services, which will operate on the airline’s new Airbus 330-300 configured with 12 business and 335 economy seats, provide travelers with greater choice in booking low-cost international air travel.
Geoff Culbert, CEO Sydney Airport, said: “We’re delighted to deliver an Australian first by securing Korean low-cost carrier T’way Air, delivering greater choice to passengers and helping to grow this important tourism market.
“The Republic of Korea is Sydney’s seventh largest inbound visitor market and Australia is in strong demand amongst Korean residents with Sydney providing the gateway to regional travel. These services will ensure we can continue to meet that demand.”
Mr Hyun-Gyi Kim, Senior Vice President of T’way Air said: “It is very meaningful to add Sydney as the first long haul route of T’way Air. As the Republic of Korea and Sydney have built networks in many areas such as tourism, economy, and education, we would like to contribute to providing greater connectivity between the two destinations.”
