T’way Air is a South Korean low-cost carrier based in Seoul. It just added its first-ever North American route this summer. The new route connects Seoul Incheon International Airport (ICN) with Vancouver International Airport (YVR) 4x weekly. The move follows the airline’s recent acquisition by Daemyung Sono Group and additional plans to fly to Europe (and maybe the US in the future). As it plots global expansion, the airline will change its name from T’way Air to Trinity Airways.
The name “Trinity” is derived from the Latin word Trinitas, meaning “three in one.” This symbolizes unity and completeness, reflecting the airline’s new mission to seamlessly combine air travel, hospitality, and resort services into a single, elevated offering. As part of its rebranding, Trinity Airways plans to strengthen strategic ties between its flight network and Daemyung Sono Group’s extensive portfolio of hotels and resorts. By linking airline routes with resort destinations, the company aims to create customized travel packages and a unified membership program. Writing this makes me think about the Jet2 Holiday memes. The goal is to give customers access to flights, accommodations, and curated experiences together.
The full rebranding rollout is scheduled for the first half of 2026. Key milestones will include:
- A redesign of aircraft exteriors (featuring the new Trinity Airways livery)
- A complete overhaul of logos, uniforms, and branding materials
- The launch of new digital platforms and loyalty programs that align with the airline’s integrated service model
The airline traces its roots back to 2004, when it was launched as Hansung Airlines (Korea’s first low-cost carrier). In 2010, the company rebranded as T’way Air. This latest transformation to Trinity Airways marks the next chapter as it focuses on global reach and delivering a comprehensive travel experience.
Anthony’s Take: I’m curious to see if T’way Air tries to enter the United States. Air Premia, Asiana, and Korean Air currently fly to the US, but is there more demand for another low-cost carrier (especially after Asiana and Korean Air are fully merged)?
