Civil Aviation Transportation Management

The Civil Aviation Management Program aims to create an innovative and realistic learning environment to prepare students for their careers. Activities are organized where students can ask questions, see services in action, and learn from these experiences. Boutique tours to airports, meteorological stations, and ground service equipment production centers are arranged to introduce students to the field and allow them to learn technical information on-site. Additionally, students meet with aviation industry experts through conferences, speeches, and presentations, learning about current issues and professional developments firsthand.

The Civil Aviation Management Program provides special opportunities for students who want to gain experience through practical learning. To achieve this goal, students collaborate with the best in the industry.
