Airways Aviation Group, founded in 2014 by Australian businessman Romy Hawatt, stands out as a global benchmark in aviation training.
Hawatt, who had previously led businesses such as the SAE Institute, present in more than 30 countries, brought his experience in the field of education and a strategic vision of rapid and sustainable growth to the aviation sector.
Strategic vision and investment
Since its creation, the group has stood out for its rapid expansion, through acquisitions and organic growth. Today, Airways Aviation Group operates in 14 countries, with a flexible and comprehensive training offer that includes pilot, cabin crew and aircraft maintenance technician courses.
It also maintains partnerships with universities, guaranteeing dual qualifications for students and combining aeronautical training with higher education for both the civil and military sectors.
The company has invested millions of euros in leading academies and state-of-the-art equipment, with the aim of guaranteeing training excellence.
In a highly capitalised sector subject to economic fluctuations, Airways Aviation seeks to offer stability and a production of professionals capable of responding to the needs of the industry.
Digital transition in aviation training
A pioneer in the digitalisation of aviation training, the group provides students with access to digital manuals, interactive databases and advanced technology equipment, such as tablets with applications that help with flight planning and real-time monitoring.
More recently, the introduction of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) has begun to revolutionise the practical training of pilots, cabin crew and maintenance technicians.
In the coming years, technology promises to offer an even more immersive and accessible experience, allowing for more efficient and realistic training.
Airways Aviation Group continues to lead the transformation of the aviation training sector, with a clear vision of innovation, sustainability and excellence.
Sustainability at the forefront
Sustainability is a priority for the group, a leader in the adoption of ‘green practices’ in the aeronautical sector. With a fleet of aircraft equipped with engines that consume up to 50% less fuel than conventional ones, the group supports the development of new technologies, such as VoltAero’s Cassio 330 hybrid-electric aircraft. The project, which will be led by Jean Botti, former Airbus Chief Technology Officer, has the potential to transform the aviation sector in general.
With aviation expected to account for 25% of global emissions by 2050, Airways Aviation is committed to reducing environmental impact by working on innovative solutions that can benefit the entire sector.
