What is the future of pursuing a course in Aviation Management?

The pandemic has upended business, and the world came to a standstill. Many businesses got shut forever, putting the job market in uncertainty. However, one sector was thriving even when the world was crashing down, and that was Aviation. Aviation is considered one of the most promising fields and is among the primary drivers of the economy. Thousands of students apply for aviation courses every year, but only a few make the cut. Even when you are working in the sector, often you will realize that your skills are getting redundant and you need to pace up to stay relevant. In order to do so, many professionals end up quitting their jobs and affect their job curve negatively.

In the past few years, the education sector has made strides and has made it possible for professionals to hone their skills without quitting their jobs.  One can pursue many courses to outshine in this field, for example, BBA in Aviation Operations and MBA in Aviation Management. These programmes will help you get a rewarding career across Aviation, Logistics, Travel Portals & Hospitality industries worldwide and will help you work across multiple functions like operations, revenue management, planning, logistics, business development, strategic tie-ups.

But since multiple universities offer courses to choose from in the Aviation Sector, one may get confused about what to choose. If you are someone, who is looking to enhance skills from a distance learning course, you must consider the following points in a university:

 

  •   The university must offer  eLearning content for self-learning
  •   The faculty must give live sessions wherein students can get all their queries solved instantly
  •   There should be a host of guest speakers who can encourage students from time to time with their life journey
  •   Helpdesk support must be available for all students so that if they get stuck somewhere, it can be addressed immediately

 

The scope

When one pursues a programme in Aviation Management, a lot of unexplored avenues get opened for them. Not only do they become relevant for the aviation industry itself, but they often become a preferred choice of the logistics, hospitality, IT industry, event management and consulting industries. For example:

In Aviation, professionals can choose from a wide range of roles such as:

 

  •   Flight Analysis

In the event, Management and consulting, one can choose from roles such as:

The curriculum of a progressive university will always be about the holistic development of students, even if it is a distance learning programme. Such universities aim for more than just giving a degree to the students. The curriculum of such universities is vast, and students learn:

  •   Economics & Management Decisions
  •   Financial Management

And much more.

Deciding to upskill your life and skills is only half the work done; the remaining task is choosing the right university. The Indian education space has evolved a lot, but only a handful of universities aim to make students better with evolving times. The world is exceptionally competitive, and it has become imperative to brush your skills to stay relevant. Distance learning courses have been a blessing in disguise for many professionals who have failed to upgrade their skills due to the absence of expert guidance. However, making a calculative move and an informed decision is crucial.
