awaiting or waiting for?

Please clear this.

Whether The arrival is correct.

Can we use an article before verb?

Awaiting = waiting for.

For is superfluous here.

Dear friends awaiting is wrong, it should be waiting.

Both "awaiting" and "waiting for" are correct.

Answer is right.

Awaiting is used for --waiting for. So an extra for after awaiting is not required.

It can be also corrected as "waiting for".
