AIRWAYS TRAINING DEAL

Airways New Zealand is taking its air traffic training services to the United States. State-owned Airways, the provider of air traffic control for the country, said on Tuesday it had expanded its international training service after reaching an agreement with Maryland-based Washington Consulting Group (WCG). Airways training general manager Sharon Cooke said it would work on a number of training initiatives with WCG, a global aviation professional services company. The American company was particularly interested in Airways’ Airbooks service, which offered digitised training content.
