T’way secures South Korean approval for Trinity Airways rebrand

T’way Air has obtained domestic regulatory approval to proceed with its planned rebrand as Trinity Airways, clearing a key hurdle in the carrier’s transition under new ownership. The South Korean low-cost airline’s shareholders had already backed the corporate name change at an annual general meeting on March 31, 2026, with 99.2% of votes in favor, and the new name has been entered on official company registration documents.

According to the airline, the public-facing rebrand will move ahead once all required international approvals are in place. Until then, the carrier will continue to trade as T’way Air, using its existing TW IATA code, flight numbers, and reservations systems. The rebranding will also introduce a new livery featuring large billboard titles on the forward fuselage, a gray underbelly stripe, and a gray tail bearing a triangle in pink, yellow, and blue, with the full rollout expected to begin in the second half of 2026.

The transition to Trinity Airways follows the airline’s acquisition by the Daemyung Sono Group and comes as the carrier addresses a KRW 1.2 billion (approximately USD 793,000) fine related to the use of unauthorised maintenance components on several aircraft.
