Airways Aviation Group Chairman Highlights Vision for the Future of Aviation Education and Training

Global flight training group Airways Aviation, which operates pilot training academies across Europe, the Middle East, Asia/Australia, and India, has reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the aviation industry’s critical skilled workforce shortage through strategic growth, acquisitions, partnerships, and innovation in education and training. It’s Chairman Romy Hawatt shared the following

The aviation industry is at a critical juncture, driven by the pressures of expanding global business and personal travel, cargo, defence and security requirements, an ageing workforce and the need to modernise fleets and related spare parts and equipment.

Over the coming decades, both Boeing and Airbus Aircraft forecast that hundreds of thousands of new pilots, maintenance engineers and cabin crew in the civilian sector will be required. In addition, millions of other aviation and aerospace industry related professionals including technicians, air traffic controllers, ground handlers, airport administrative, operations and security personnel, customs and quarantine officers etc are also rapidly rising presenting both an unparalleled opportunity and adding to what is already a considerable challenge in filling skilled employment gaps.

Meeting these demands calls for strategic vision, decisive action and innovative approaches across the aviation industry at large and the Airways Aviation Group is rising to meet the challenges. Within our own Aviation Education and Training sector we apply rigorous policies driven by market analysis an unwavering commitment to excellence to drive growth.

Our success rests largely on the unique, bespoke Airways Aviation Group structure, policies, business, industry and academic partner engagement model to deliver at the B2C, B2B and Military customer levels. Added to this are also strategies to seek out high-demand regions for new acquisitions – as evidenced by the recent acquisitions of Professione Volare S.r.l. in Forli, Italy and Patria Pilot Training in Pirkkala and Vantaa, Finland and Cordoba, Spain.

There are recent Cooperation Alliances signed with OATC – Omni Aviation Training Center in Cascais and also a soon to be opened Airways Aviation Satellite base in Portugal and the EASA Cabin Crew Training partnership with Dynamic Advanced Training in Dubai. Added to this, is the growing number of Airways Aviation Foundation Assessment and Selection facilities in Dubai UAE, Hyderabad India and Casablanca Morocco along with the significant expansion into our third Australian training location to enhance and complement the Gold Coast and Lismore also soon to be formally announced.

We believe that by balancing a combination of organic growth with strategic expansion, the Group ensures that while we grow, we also remain conscious and balance off the need to maintain our quality and consistency at high levels while achieving global reach.

Central to this approach is a diverse and skilled workforce that we implore to rise to the challenge of achieving excellence through a dedication to maintaining industry best standards and practices. We then support this with strategic marketing communications and brand-building activities that amplify our messaging and impact.

Aviation connects people, economies and cultures as the world population and need for qualified professionals continues to rise. Through its data-driven strategies, utilisation of applicable technologies, thoughtful growth initiatives and commitment to talent development, the Airways Aviation Group has established itself as a global leader in aviation education and training.
