T’way to acquire A330s for long-haul expansion
Korean low-cost carrier T’way Air has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire Airbus A330-300s, as it looks to tap into the medium- to long-haul market. In an announcement made on 18 December, the carrier states that it will take delivery of its first example in the second half of the year, and will operate three A330s by the end of the year. It intends to operate the aircraft to destinations “beyond the limitations” of current low-cost carrier routes, including to Sydney, Singapore, Honolulu, as well as to unspecified points in Malaysia and Croatia. T’way notes that the timeline to launch these routes will be subject to improvements in the coronavirus situation. The A330s will also be introduced on existing routes “with insufficient capacity” during peak seasons, the carrier adds.<br/>
