ASCENT – December 2024
In this issue…
In this issue you’ll read articles about how the simulation as a service model is enhancing global ATC training, and the revolutionary role our SureSelect software is playing in the global ATC shortage. You’ll also hear from three generations of the Bowles family about their ATC career legacy, and about our trial of the AirShare UTM at unattended aerodromes across New Zealand.
Sim as a service – revolutionising ATC training
Airways International Acting Head of Products Jonny Cooke explains how the simulation as a service model is providing flexibility, efficiencies and enhanced training experiences for some customers, and how it has the potential to transform the global ATC training sector.
AirShare trialled across Aotearoa’s skies
AirShare Product Manager George Ridd explains how the trial supports Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations in New Zealand by enabling easier access to airspace – and in turn boosts New Zealand’s reputation as a global hub for world-leading aerospace activities.
Innovative selection solutions to navigate global ATC shortage
ANSPs worldwide are struggling to find, train, and keep air traffic controllers, as air travel returns to pre-pandemic levels. Our SureSelect tool is helping ANSPs to meet this challenge, using a scientific approach to selection for ATC training to ensure better outcomes for both candidates and ANSPs.
Passing the headset – three generations of ATCs
The Bowles family legacy in air traffic control spans three generations, with Derek, Clint, Ben, and Jacob all serving as ATCs with Airways. Their shared passion for aviation has created a unique bond, inspiring each generation to follow in the footsteps of the one before.
