SEOUL, Sept 15 (Reuters) - South Korea's budget carrier
T'way Air Co Ltd  091810.KS  said it will launch flights to
Wuhan, China, on Wednesday, making it the first international
carrier to fly to the city after flights were suspended earlier
this year due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
    The once-a-week round-trip flights between South Korea's
Incheon airport and Wuhan have already received approval from
Chinese and South Korean authorities, a transport ministry
official in South Korea said. 
    T'way in January suspended its plan to start flights to
Wuhan due to the pandemic. Before the suspension of
international flights, Korean Air Lines  003490.KS  and China
Southern Airlines  600029.SS  flew to the city, the capital of
central China's Hubei province.
