The delivery of advanced simulation technology to the Zambia Air Services Training Institute represents a significant upgrade for Southern African aviation training capabilities. By integrating modern simulators, the institute aims to align its curriculum with international standards, addressing the growing demand for qualified air traffic controllers and flight crew in the region. This project reduces the reliance on foreign training facilities and enhances the local technical talent pool required to support expanding regional air operations.
For Airways International, this contract reinforces its presence in the Sub-Saharan African market as a provider of critical training infrastructure. The installation will likely serve as a benchmark for other regional civil aviation authorities seeking to modernize their MRO and operational training frameworks. As Zambia positions itself as a growing transit hub, the reliability of its air navigation services and the proficiency of its ground and flight personnel will be essential for maintaining safety and operational efficiency.
What to watch: Successful completion of site acceptance testing and commissioning of the simulators in Lusaka.
