T'way Air said on the 23rd that it marked the third anniversary of launching its Incheon–Sydney route. The route is T'way Air's first long-haul route.
T'way Air said it began operating the route on Dec. 23, 2022, and has since flown 1,131 flights, carrying a cumulative 340,000 passengers.
Cumulative cargo volume reached 5,295 tons (t). Cargo volume was 859 t in 2023, but increased to 1,700 t last year.
This year, T'way Air expects to record about 2,700 t. That is up 214% from the early days of operation.
The company said it posted stable results by loading electronics, auto parts, and machinery using the belly cargo of wide-body aircraft.
T'way Air's Incheon–Sydney route currently operates five times a week, with A330-300 aircraft deployed.
A T'way Air official said, "We were able to celebrate the third anniversary thanks to the interest and support of many people," adding, "We will continue to do our best."
