Introduction
While most people never stop to consider it, a tremendous number of management personnel are required to keep the nation’s airports, airlines, and other aviation-related companies running effectively and efficiently. The Aviation Management concentration offers the preparation needed for graduates to move into these management positions in the aviation industry. Airport, airline, and fixed base operations (FBO) careers, as well as consulting and intermodal transportation positions, are all possible for graduates of the Aviation Management program.
