T'way Air (TW) July 2025 Operational Report

Flight Activity Overview

Total arriving flights: 5,300

Year-over-year change: 2.18%

T'way Air handled 5,300 arriving flights in July 2025, reflecting resilient demand on Korea–Japan and Korea–Southeast Asia leisure flows during the summer peak. The year-over-year increase aligns with capacity adjustments on short-haul routes and price stimulation typical for low-cost carriers. The airline continued to balance aircraft utilization with airport slot constraints at Seoul to support steady growth.

On-Time Performance and Cancellations

On-time arrival rate: 91.06%

Year-over-year change (on-time rate): 10.85%

Cancelled flights: 68

Year-over-year change (cancellations): 112.5%

Punctuality improved to 91.06%, supported by tighter ground turnaround control and proactive crew and aircraft rotations. Cancellations totaled 68; although this is higher than a year earlier, the spike was concentrated around several weather-affected days and regional air traffic flow restrictions. The carrier mitigated disruption by pre-emptive schedule thinning on vulnerable days, earlier notifications to customers, and targeted spare aircraft coverage.

Key Hubs

Operations remain centered on Seoul, with Gimpo (GMP) anchoring domestic connectivity and Incheon (ICN) focusing international markets to Japan and Southeast Asia; Daegu (TAE) supports secondary city demand. Coordinated morning and evening waves help connect regional Korea with popular leisure destinations, while tighter minimum connection times favor simple, point-to-point itineraries.

Outlook

For passengers, T'way Air offers reliable short-haul options with punctuality trending above the ninety‑percent mark, making it a practical choice for quick regional trips. Through late summer, travelers should plan for crowding at peak hours in Seoul and typhoon‑season weather across Northeast Asia; building a buffer for connections remains wise. The airline signals continued focus on on-time performance, incremental schedule refinements on Japan and Southeast Asia routes, and service touchpoints such as streamlined boarding to keep rotations predictable.
