T’way Air launches year-round non-stop service from YVR to Seoul beginning July 2025

Home to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, global music sensations BLACKPINK and BTS, and Bukhansan National Park, (Guinness World Record holder as the most-visited national park per unit area) this global hotspot for music, technology, and cuisine is now more accessible than ever.  

To meet growing interest to visit the city, T’way Air, a South Korean low-cost airline, is launching non-stop service from Vancouver to South Korea’s capital beginning July 12, 2025. The new route marks T’way Air’s first and only non-stop flight to Canada.  

The new route will bring the total number of weekly flights departing YVR for Seoul to 47 year-round, providing more options for our community to travel between Canada and South Korea. British Columbia is home to the second largest Korean community in Canada, 93 per cent of which reside in Vancouver. Canada is also home to the fourth largest Korean population outside of Korea.  

The route is served by an Airbus 330-300, offering 347 seats including lie-flat options in business and premium economy.  

T’way Air’s service from YVR to ICN will run year-round, four times a week, transporting up to 1388 passengers weekly. Every new route departing from YVR results in increased economic activity and jobs for our region. The new service to Seoul is expected to generate $39.8 million in economic output, $20.8 million in GDP, and 237 full time jobs in the province.
