Location of Cranfield University
The ongoing success of the air transport industry has made been possible by rapid technological advances and associated high investment, resulting in demands for an increasingly skilled workforce. More recently, industry liberalisation and privatisation in many parts of the world has led to increased competition, spurring further gains in efficiency and a continued decline in air fares. In today's rapidly changing air transport environment the industry requires access to advanced and comprehensive knowledge, coupled with an in-depth understanding of its needs.
The Executive MSc Air Transport Management is designed to equip you with the skills required to either enhance your present career or to allow you to pursue a new career path with airlines (in operations, marketing or engineering), airport authorities, civil aviation departments, air transport consultancies or aerospace companies .
