In an era of continuous advances in air transport technologies, and an increasing push towards sustainable aviation, it’s an exciting time to enter the world of aviation management. The industry’s goal of net zero emissions by 2050, together with ongoing geopolitical tensions and uneven global economic development, require managers and leaders of the future with the knowledge and skills to navigate this uncertainty. Kazimieras Simonavicius University started the programme Aviation Management (MA) to provide aviation professionals the ability to get contemporary European university educa- tion at the master level in the field of aviation management, under the Management field of Studies. The Aviation Management MA is de- signed to equip students with the skills required to pursue a successful career in various sectors of the air transport industry, including airlines, airport companies and authorities, civil aviation departments, air transport consultancies and aerospace companies.

Lectures are conducted on-line on video con- ference platforms ( Teams, Moodle, and other). Students have individual meetings with profes- sors, one-to-one teaching, individual and group work, live lectures, case studies, problems-solv- ing, future forecast methodologies, etc. Once a semester, face- to-face modules and exam ses- sion take place on-campus in Vilnius (Lithuania) lasting for two weeks. The study programme consists of over 12 different aviation and man- agement study subjects.
