T’way Air’s inaugural Australian services, which will operate on the airline’s new Airbus 330-300 configured with 12 business and 335 economy seats, provides travellers with greater choice in booking low-cost international air travel.

Geoff Culbert, CEO Sydney Airport, said: “We’re delighted to deliver an Australian first by securing Korean low-cost carrier T’way Air, delivering greater choice to passengers and helping to grow this important tourism market.
