Civil Aviation Transportation Management (English) Program, aims to train qualified intermediate staff for employment in airports and airline companies. It educates graduates equipped with fundamental knowledge of airline and aviation management by offering a coordinated curriculum that includes both business-related and core aviation courses. The program regularly updates its content in line with sectoral demands. Its close cooperation with the aviation industry and various organized events allow students to gain early exposure to professional life before graduation.
Purpose of the Civil Aviation Transportation Management Program is to train professionals who will carry out operations related to passenger and cargo transportation via aircraft and work in the management and operation of civil air transportation. Graduates of the program may work in airline operations (ramp and dispatch) departments or in passenger services units where direct interaction with passengers takes place (such as lost & found, check-in, boarding, etc.).
Therefore, the curriculum is designed to prepare students with the fundamental knowledge and practical skills necessary for: reservation and ticketing, terminal and apron services, in-flight services, baggage handling, aircraft loading and weight-balance control, ground handling services, coordination with air traffic control for aircraft parking positions, synchronization with other units involved in flight operations, and the provision of special services to passengers with special needs such as VIP or CIP guests.
In summary, the program trains qualified personnel to work in various units responsible for the coordination and organization of aircraft, cargo, and passenger movements—whether affiliated with the employer’s fleet or not. The two-year associate degree curriculum covers three core areas: operational and technical training, aviation knowledge, and business management. A 30-day internship is mandatory to ensure hands-on experience in the field.
Graduates of the Civil Aviation Transportation Management (English) program may pursue further education by transferring to four-year undergraduate programs through the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS). Alternatively, upon completing their associate degree, they can enter the workforce in various roles within the airline industry or in business-related positions across both the public and private sectors.
The aviation industry experienced a significant downturn with the global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in 2019. However, following the development of COVID-19 vaccines, the sector has shown a rapid recovery. During the pandemic, the desire of people confined to their homes to travel and explore new places increased considerably. Additionally, the transformation of the world into a global market has been another driving force behind the growth of the aviation sector. The rising demand for air travel and cargo transportation is expected to continuously increase the need for qualified personnel in the industry.
This program is ideal for candidates who wish to pursue a career in the field of aviation, particularly within airlines, ground handling services, and air cargo operations.
Graduates who successfully complete the Civil Aviation Transportation Management (English) associate degree program can pursue careers at various levels within the aviation sub-sectors, including airports, airlines, ground handling companies, catering, and cargo enterprises. In addition, they may also find employment across other industries or within public institutions.
