South Korea's low-cost carrier T'way Air is accelerating its transition to Trinity Air, aiming to establish a comprehensive travel platform that encompasses flights, accommodations, and more.

On May 18, T'way Air announced that it received a license from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to change its name to Trinity Air. The new name, derived from the Latin word "Trinitas," symbolizes the concept of three entities coming together to achieve completeness, reflecting the airline's goal of enhancing customer experience by integrating air travel with lodging and tourism.

The issuance of this license follows a resolution passed during the regular shareholders' meeting on March 31, which approved the name change and initiated the necessary aviation licensing procedures.

However, due to the nature of international air transport, the actual commencement of operations under the new name will occur gradually, pending the completion of approvals from foreign aviation authorities.

The Ministry of Land has stipulated conditions for the approval process, including measures to prevent consumer confusion, maintain safety protocols, and ensure the completion of approvals from international aviation authorities. T'way Air plans to implement these procedures step by step to ensure a smooth transition.

Until all approval processes are finalized, the airline will continue to operate under the T'way Air name. The airline code (TW) and flight numbers will remain unchanged, and existing customers will be able to use services without any additional changes.

A T'way Air official stated, "This license approval is a significant first step toward the transition to Trinity Air."
