Airways International has signed a new five-year agreement with the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) for the use of its SureSelect air traffic control (ATC) candidate selection and assessment platform.
The agreement provides CAAM with access to Airways International’s suite of SureSelect ATC-specific assessments, supporting their recruitment and selection of future air traffic controllers. SureSelect helps organisations identify high potential candidates before significant investment is made in training, providing a structured and evidence-based approach to assessing the cognitive and behavioural competencies linked to successful ATC performance.
Airways International General Manager Commercial James Evans says the agreement reflects a shared commitment to securing the ATC workforce of the future in Malaysia.
“We’re proud to be partnering with CAAM in supporting the recruitment and selection of future air traffic controllers in Malaysia,” Mr Evans says. “SureSelect draws on Airways New Zealand’s decades of operational and training experience and provides organisations with an objective, evidence-based approach to candidate selection. We look forward to working alongside CAAM as they continue to strengthen their air traffic control workforce.”
Dato’ Captain Norazman Mahmud, Chief Executive Officer of CAAM, says: “Air traffic controllers perform a highly specialised and safety-critical role. Through SureSelect, CAAM will adopt a structured and evidence-based approach to identifying candidates with the aptitude and competencies required to succeed in ATC training, supporting the development of a strong and capable workforce to meet Malaysia’s future operational needs.”
Selecting the right candidates is a critical first step in the ATC training journey. By helping organisations identify high potential candidates early in the recruitment process, SureSelect supports more effective use of training resources and helps strengthen long term workforce capability.
The SureSelect platform is currently used by air navigation service providers across Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa.
This new agreement with CAAM further expands Airways International’s long-standing relationship with Malaysia and reinforces its commitment to supporting the growth of aviation and air traffic management capability across the Asia Pacific region.
