Two New Degrees

To address industry demand, Embry-Riddle created two new master’s degrees: the M.S. in Airport and Air Mobility Management and the M.S. in Airline Management. Both 30-credit, fast-track programs were designed by senior airport and airline leaders to align with real job roles and industry needs. The first five shared courses foster collaboration and cross-sector understanding between students in both tracks. With a strong focus on networking, innovation and industry- aligned skills, including aviation law, labor relations and customer experience, these programs are built to connect professionals, strengthen talent pipelines and support career growth in the fast-evolving air transportation sector.

Airline Management In today’s industry, airlines are seeking a talent pool with a diverse understanding of how airlines operate and generate revenue. The Worldwide College of Business’ Airline Management degree equips students with a deep understanding of the aviation industry by combining operational insight with strategic vision. Graduates enter the field ready to lead with confidence, applying a holistic understanding of how every facet of an airline contributes to its success. The M.S. in Airline Management

includes courses in revenue management, airline operations, MRO and technical operations, fleet, network, route planning, disruption management and operational sustainability. These classes enable broad, executive-level thinking and are well-suited for those looking to be promoted to leadership roles or enter specialized positions that require broad operational and strategic understanding.

Airport and Air Mobility Management

Courses are focused on airport operations, airport planning and development, funding and revenue management, and sustainability and resilience. Air mobility is integrated into the curriculum at multiple levels — from the planning and development of vertiports to the integration of autonomous vehicles within the airport perimeter and surrounding airspace.

Influenced by some of the largest airports in the world, the five focused courses in our M.S. in Airport and Air Mobility Management program cover everything from the evolution of airports to their modern staples of efficiency, safety and convenience. Today’s airports are technology- driven economic centers focused on reliable, sustainable and safe operations.

If you want to grow your career in the airline or airport space, these degrees are for you!”
