South Korean LCC T’way Air Elevates Flight Distribution with Atlas API Upgrade

Leading South Korean LCC enhances flight API capabilities with greater search flexibility and route coverage, expanded ancillary options, and automated refund processing for global Travel Sellers.

SINGAPORE, Dec 19, 2025Atlas (Atlaslovestravel.com), a travel technology company specialising in direct LCC flight distribution through API connectivity, announces an upgrade to its T’way Air (TW) API integration. This enhancement reinforces Atlas’s commitment to delivering comprehensive technical solutions that drive operational efficiency for Travel Sellers worldwide.

Breaking Barriers: Unrestricted Search Flexibility for Modern Travel Distribution

The upgraded T’way Air flight API with higher TPS (Transactions Per Second), positioning Atlas as the industry leader in flexible LCC distribution technology. Travel Sellers can now serve customers with greater search flexibility, higher booking reliability, and the freedom to scale shopping traffic without risking API blocks—a critical advantage for modern travel distribution infrastructure.

T’way Air, currently ranked third among low-cost carriers in South Korea by passenger traffic in the first half of 2025, operates 46 aircrafts across 60 international and 5 domestic routes.

Overseas market revenue through indirect channels like Atlas has surged from 21% in 2023 to 37% in 2025 for T’way Air, reflecting strong international demand. International passenger proportion has nearly doubled from 15% in 2023 to 27% in 2025, with ICN Hub international transfer passengers increasing 282% in 2025 as compared to 2023.

The carrier’s extensive network includes popular international routes such as:

  • Incheon International Airport (ICN) – Vancouver International Airport (YVR)
  • Cheongju International Airport (CJJ) – I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS)
  • Incheon International Airport (ICN) – Frankfurt Airport (FRA)

Comprehensive Flight API Benefits for Travel Sellers

The enhanced T’way Air flight API through Atlas offers Travel Sellers a complete suite of capabilities designed to maximise revenue and minimise operational friction:

Greater Search Flexibility: Unlike traditional LCCs implementing look-to-book restrictions, T’way Air uses TPS (Transactions Per Second), enabling Travel Sellers to serve customers with greater search flexibility, higher booking reliability, and the freedom to scale shopping traffic without risking API blocks.  All routes have an 180–day booking window that provides Travel Sellers with extended inventory access. Perfect for modern Travel Seller business infrastructure.

Expanded Route Coverage: Full access to both T’way Air’s international and domestic routes through a single API integration, providing Travel Sellers with complete inventory coverage across the carrier’s entire network.

Competitive Fare Access: Direct fare parity with T’way Air’s website ensures Travel Sellers can compete effectively in the LCC market, with exclusive fare opportunities currently under discussion for specific regions and distribution partners.

Full Ancillary Enablement: Complete access to baggage, seat selection, fare families, refunds, and void options—allowing Travel Sellers to maximise per-booking revenue while delivering comprehensive customer service.

Enhanced Payment Flexibility: Upgraded from deposit-based payment to Virtual Credit Card (VCC) settlement, significantly improving cash flow management and reducing financial exposure for Travel Sellers.

Automated Processing Excellence: Industry-leading refund automation with 95% processed within 15 minutes, plus instant void functionality, efficiently reducing manual workload and improving cash flow management.

AI-Powered Operational Support: Atlas’s AI Agent assists Travel Sellers across the entire post-booking journey—detecting issues, guiding users through processes, and autonomously handling refund and void requests. This ensures faster resolutions, fewer errors, and a more seamless experience without needing deep system knowledge.

The upgraded flight API positions Travel Sellers to capture this accelerating growth in T’way Air’s international operations, driven by OTA (Online Travel Agency) exposure and expanding route networks.

Atlas’s Technical Leadership in LCC Distribution

This T’way Air API upgrade exemplifies Atlas’s ongoing investment in providing Travel Sellers with technical solutions that actually work. By expanding route coverage, offering greater search flexibility, implementing VCC payment solutions, and automating complex processes like refunds and voids, Atlas eliminates the operational bottlenecks that traditionally challenge LCC distribution.
