T'way Air to open Incheon-Singapore route this month

T'way Air said Monday it will open a Incheon-Singapore route later this month, becoming the first Korean low-cost carrier that will serve the route. T'way will use an A330-300 on the Singapore route and provide two flights a week beginning May 28, the company said. Inbound passengers are exempt from COVID-19 tests when they enter Singapore. And those who are fully vaccinated, as well as unvaccinated children under age 12, can travel to the Southeast Asian country without a quarantine period, it said. T'way Air has suspended most of its international routes since March 2020, as countries strengthened their entry restrictions over the pandemic. For the whole of 2021, its net losses deepened to 156.2b won ($122m) from 137.8b won. Sales fell to 214.4b won last year from 269.2b won a year ago. T'way Air plans to operate 20 large planes, as well as 30 midsized and small ones, by 2027 to achieve 3t won in sales.<br/>
