General Overview of Airways NZ
The most visible part of aviation in New Zealand are the aircraft flying around our skies. For the most part, these aircraft are controlled by Air Traffic Controllers (ATC's) working in towers around the country and the radar centre (Christchurch), although airspace in NZ is made up of both controlled and uncontrolled airspace.
When you train as an ATC you're gaining more than a qualification, and actually, more than a job. That's because once qualified you've got a career, and it's one with a lot of potential, and plenty of possibilities for your future. While you'll initially gain experience and grow your abilities working at a regional control tower, Airways has an excellent range of avenues available to advance your career. It could be by moving on to an international tower or radar centre, or even into one of many specialist or management roles. And because the ATC qualification is recognised internationally, you'll have the opportunity to travel and work in many other countries around the world.
We employ approximately 700 staff nationwide and have offices in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and 16 regional towers located throughout New Zealand.

What kind of qualifications are needed to do them?
Attitude and aptitude - if you have the right kind of both, you're already on your way towards becoming an ATC. We look for people with the ability to visualise and react to situations in the right kind of way.
