Hansung Airlines was subsequently reorganized and rebranded in 2010 after its shutdown.[1] The 't' in T'way stands for together, today and tomorrow.[7] The airline was established on 8 August 2010 with two Boeing 737-800 aircraft.[8] The following month, the airline obtained a new air operator's certificate permitting domestic operations and commenced scheduled flights between Gimpo International Airport and Jeju International Airport.[9]
In 2011, an additional AOC for international operations was granted. In October of the same year, T'way launched its first international service, to Bangkok.[10] In 2013, the airline achieved a profit for the first time.[11] In November that year, cargo services were launched.[12]
As of 2019, it was the third largest Korean low-cost carrier in the international market, having carried 2.9 million domestic passengers and 4.2 million international passengers the year prior. Its international traffic had quadrupled in the three years leading up to 2019.[13]
In April 2022, T'way received its first Airbus A330.[14][15] In October 2022, T'way announced a route from Seoul to Sydney, which is its first long-haul connection.[16] In October 2024, the airline inaugurated flights to Germany with a route between Seoul and Frankfurt, which it had been granted due to a concession deal as part of the merger between Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, which both serve Frankfurt.[17] In the same month, the airline announced it plans to lease Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to facilitate its expansion plans until the delivery of its new Airbus A330neos.[18]
