T’Way commences Seoul–Macau route

South Korean low-cost carrier T’Way Airlines has announced the opening of its new Seoul–Macau route, which came into operation on November 27. The 2,102-kilometer route between Seoul’s Incheon International Airport and Macau will be flown five times each week by the airline’s 737-800s.
South Korea is a popular tourist destination for Macau residents. It is believed the new flight will better meet consumer demand during peak seasons such as Christmas.
T’Way Air is a low-cost carrier based at Seoul Gimpo Airport in South Korea. It was established in 2010 and currently operates routes to mainland China, Japan, Taiwan and Thailand.
The airline has undertaken significant international growth from its operations at Incheon. However, more than half of the company’s weekly flights are operated on a single domestic route within South Korea.
T’Way Air was not the only airline to commence new flights at Macau International Airport last week. On the same day, Air Asia launched their new daily flight from Macau to Pattaya, Thailand, providing further options for Macau travelers.
According to the Macau International Airport, the new routes are intended to complement the efforts of the MSAR government in building the region into a world-class tourism destination.
