T’way Air (IATA: TW, ICAO: TWB), formerly Hansung Airlines, a low-cost South Korean airline headquartered in Seoul, made its first official trip to Europe, connecting Zagreb and Seoul on May 16th, 2024. From now on, leisure tourists and business travellers in Croatia and South Korea will appreciate the new link between Zagreb and Seoul (Incheon) for connectivity, convenience, and service.
This new service offers travelers an affordable and convenient option, and we believe this route will boost Croatia’s tourism industry and enhance the exchange between two countries.
