T'way Air Launches New Route Between Cheongju and Fukuoka

This Year, Cheongju International Flights Launch 6 Routes to 4 Countries

T'way Air announced on the 6th that it has started operating the Cheongju-Fukuoka route. Starting with flight TW247 on the 26th of this month, it will operate five times a week (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sun). The schedule departs at 4 PM and arrives at Fukuoka Airport around 5 PM.

Fukuoka, located in Kyushu, Japan, is a representative tourist city with a short flight time and close proximity from the airport to the city center, making it possible to explore sufficiently even on a short trip.

From January to October this year, 223,660 travelers departed from Cheongju Airport for overseas trips via T'way Air. This accounts for about 80% of the total international passengers at Cheongju Airport (approximately 278,900).

Earlier this year, the company launched the Cheongju-Danang route, followed by the Bangkok (Don Mueang) route in April. In June, new routes to Osaka and Nha Trang were introduced, and in July, the Cheongju-Yanji route was added, expanding to China routes. Including the new Cheongju-Fukuoka route, T'way Air now operates a total of six international routes across four countries departing from Cheongju International Airport.

A T'way Air representative said, “We are pleased to enhance international travel convenience by expanding flights departing from Cheongju Airport, which offers good accessibility to customers in the central region,” adding, “We will continue to strive to improve customer satisfaction by expanding various regional airport routes.”
