T'way Air rebrands as Trinity Airways following acquisition

South Korean budget airline T way Air has undergone a rebranding as Trinity Airways, following its acquisition by leisure conglomerate Sono Trinity Group, according to a report by Yonhap on Aug. 6. The acquisition, which took place in February 2025, saw Sono Trinity, formerly known as Daemyung Sono Group, purchase a 46 percent stake in T way Air for 250 billion won (US$176.4 million).

This marked the airline's first name change in 16 years, following approval at a shareholders meeting in March and subsequent approval from South Korean aviation authorities. Trinity Airways, now operated by Sono Trinity Group, aims to offer more customized services, including upgraded in-flight amenities and a new mileage program tied to the group's travel and hospitality businesses.

The airline currently serves 58 international routes, with 30 flights to Southeast and Northeast Asia, 18 to Japanese destinations, five European cities, three routes in Russia and Central Asia, and one each to the Americas and Oceania.
