T'way Air has been honored with the "2025 Outstanding Transit Airline" award at Incheon International Airport, marking its second straight year receiving the transit passenger growth accolade. The airline's success reflects its efforts in enhancing transit sales and providing dedicated services for connecting passengers across its route network.
According to data from IIAC, the number of transiting passengers on T'way Air flights increased significantly, from approximately 57,000 in 2024 to around 97,000 in 2025, representing a 69 percent rise year-on-year. The transit ratio, indicating the proportion of transit passengers among all travelers, also grew from 2.6 percent to 4.1 percent during this period.
Growth continues into 2026, with the airline carrying about 28,000 transit passengers in the first quarter, a 26 percent increase compared to the same period last year. The transit ratio during this quarter improved as well, rising from 3.6 percent to 4.1 percent.
Looking ahead, T'way Air plans to expand transit connectivity to regional airports including Daegu and Jeju, aiming to improve options for international travelers. The airline recently rebranded as Trinity Airways following shareholder approval, with operations to transition to the new name pending regulatory approvals.
A T'way Air official stated, "Two consecutive years of recognition reflects the results of close cooperation and joint marketing with IIAC."
