The actual meaning for awaiting is waiting for.
But there is a difference between the usage of both the letters.
For the usage of awaiting an object is not necessary. i.e I am awaiting you.
For the usage of waiting there should be an object.

I think "awaiting" can be replaced by "waiting for".

Awaiting means to wait for. So either awaiting or waiting for is correct.

'awaiting' is kind of more formal. Don't use 'for' after it. More like 'awaiting the arrival' not 'awaiting for the arrival.

Awaiting is a transitive verb, we can't use a preposition with the verb directly.
