People wish to travel more often and further for leisure and business pursuits and the demand for air transport of both passengers and goods is increasing. The globalisation of supply chains challenges land-based transport infrastructure, resulting in the need for global air freight. This innovative course is the first to link the general principles of airline and airport management to the discipline of logistics management and recognises the need for graduates who have a full understanding of the role of the aviation sector in supply chain management. It will equip you with the knowledge and skills required for an exciting and challenging career in airlines, air freight, freight forwarders, express couriers and general logistics and supply chain management. We have established a large number of industry contacts such as Monarch airlines, DHL and Caterpillar who provides us with some great guest lectures, enable site visits and most importantly provide work placements and graduate employment opportunities. Our courses are accredited by the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT).

Graduates frequently go on to successful careers in areas such as airline revenue analysis, managing ground handling, air charter services and the air freight sector. Recent graduates are now working in companies such as DHL, Airbus UK, Cathay Pacific, UPS and Thomas Cook.
