T'way Air to open flights to 2 Taiwanese cities from December

SEOUL, Oct. 27 (Yonhap) -- T'way Air Co., one of South Korea's six budget carriers, said Friday it will operate routes to two additional cities in Taiwan from December as part of its service diversification plan.

T'way Air plans to assign the 189-seat B737-800 passenger jet on the routes from Incheon to Taizhong and Kaohsiung four times a week from Dec. 15, the company said in a statement.

The low-cost carrier now operates 19 B737-800 jets on four domestic routes to Jeju Island and 44 international routes to 29 cities in eight countries, including Guam, Saipan, Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong. It currently serves two Taiwanese cities -- Songshan and Taipei.

South Korean airlines have diversified their routes to offset lower travel demand from China amid ongoing political tensions between the two countries over the deployment of an advanced U.S. anti-missile system in South Korea to deter North Korean provocations.

In March, Beijing banned the sale of group tour packages to South Korea in an apparent retaliation against the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, which it argues can be used to spy on its military.
