T'way Air Resumes Busan-Vientiane, Laos Route Operations

T'way Air announced on the 22nd that it will resume daily flights between Busan and Vientiane, Laos.

Starting with flight TW135 departing from Gimhae Airport at 9:05 PM on the 21st, T'way Air began regular service on the Busan-Vientiane route. The first flight on this route recorded a passenger load factor of about 93%.

The Busan-Vientiane route operates daily, seven times a week. The flight departs Gimhae Airport at 9:05 PM and arrives at Vientiane International Airport at 12:30 AM the next day. The flight time is approximately five and a half hours.

T'way Air had operated the Busan-Vientiane route as a regular service in early 2020 but suspended it due to COVID-19. With this resumption, T'way Air plans to expand its international flights departing from Gimhae Airport and enhance travel convenience for travelers in the Busan region.

Vientiane is the capital of Laos. It has many historical and cultural sites, including architecture and Buddhist temples from the period of French colonial rule. It is a major tourist city in Laos where visitors can enjoy various activities such as waterfall swimming, the Blue Lagoon, and golf.

Following the existing Busan-Osaka route, T'way Air has added the Busan-Vientiane route. This is part of a strategy to accelerate the expansion of international routes departing from Gimhae Airport.

A T'way Air official said, "We are pleased to improve international flight accessibility for travelers in the Busan region with the Vientiane route departing from Busan," and added, "We highly recommend spending a relaxing time enjoying the unspoiled nature in Laos."
