T'way Air becomes Trinity Airways and unveils A330neo business class seat

The South Korean airline formerly known as T'way Air has been flying under the name Trinity Airways since 10 September. The change follows the acquisition in February 2025 of a 46 percent stake by the South Korean hotel and travel company Sono Trinity Group, for 250 billion won, or roughly 152 million euros. The carrier's TW code and its flight numbers are unchanged.

The airline's fleet currently numbers about 50 aircraft, among them Boeing 737-800s and 737 Max 8s, Airbus A330-200s and A330-300s, and Boeing 777-300ERs. In autumn 2024 the carrier signed a leasing agreement with Avolon for five Airbus A330-900s. The first of those aircraft had been due in 2025, but after delays Trinity Airways now expects the first example in 2026.

Alongside the name change, the airline presented its new business class for the A330neo. The seat takes a deliberately pared-back approach. Rather than offering multiple seat variants, a high-resolution display or an extensive entertainment programme, it gives passengers two options only: sitting or lying. Called Sofab, it comes from the Italian manufacturer Optimares, with Trinity Airways as launch customer. Monitors are absent; the airline expects travellers to bring their own devices.

The new aircraft will have 324 economy seats and 12 business seats in a 1-2-1 configuration.
