T'way Air said Monday that it received a revised license from the ministry on May 15 to change its name to Trinity Air.
The new name, Trinity, comes from the Latin word “Trinitas,” meaning the unity of three. The company said the name reflects its plan to expand beyond air travel by combining aviation, accommodation and travel services to offer a more integrated customer experience.
The license change follows the company’s decision to adopt the new name at its annual shareholders’ meeting on March 31.
However, the airline will not begin operating under the new name immediately. As an international air carrier, T'way Air must complete approval procedures with foreign aviation authorities before launching services under the Trinity Air name.
The transport ministry approved the license change on condition that the airline take measures to prevent consumer confusion, maintain its safety management system and complete necessary approvals from overseas aviation authorities.
Until all related procedures are completed, the airline will continue to operate under the T'way Air name. Its airline code, TW, and flight numbers will also remain unchanged. Passengers with existing reservations can use their tickets without any additional changes.
“This license approval marks an important first step in our transition to Trinity Air,” a T'way Air official said.
