Explore commercial, operational and management careers across airlines, airports, aerospace companies, aviation services, strategy, finance, supply chains, marketing and business development.
Aviation and aerospace companies require far more than engineers and flight crews. They also depend on managers, analysts, commercial specialists, finance teams, project leaders, supply-chain professionals, marketers and strategists.
The Business & Management – Aviation Segments pathway connects business education with the airline, airport, aerospace manufacturing, aviation-services and mobility industries.
Students can pursue specialist aviation-management programmes or broader business, finance, economics, operations, supply-chain, project-management and marketing degrees before moving into aviation-sector roles.
Career Direction
Business careers in aviation cover commercial planning, airline strategy, airport management, finance, operations, supply chain, procurement, project delivery, marketing and business development.
Technical understanding can be valuable but is not essential for every role. Employers often seek candidates with strong analytical, commercial, communication and organisational skills combined with an understanding of aviation-sector economics and operations.
