T'way Air to open route to Nha Trang in Feb.
SEOUL, Jan. 8 (Yonhap) -- T'way Air, one of South Korea's six low-cost carriers, said Tuesday it will begin services from Incheon to Nha Trang in Vietnam next month.
T'way Air will allocate a 189-seat B737-800 jet for the route from Feb. 20, the company said in a statement.
With the addition of the new route, the budget carrier will fly to 45 destinations -- 41 international routes and four domestic ones. The airline will have a fleet of 30 planes composed of 26 twin-engine B737-800s and four more B737 MAX 8s by the end of this year, a company spokeswoman said. The Max 8s are more fuel-efficient compared to other planes in its size class.
Established in August 2010, the carrier has been expanding its operations by adding routes to Japan and Southeast Asian countries.
