Master of Business Administration in Aviation

Advance in Aviation Business

Airlines are under constant pressure from governments, passengers, direct competitors and industry. Successfully managing operations in a high-risk, high-reliability and complex aviation environment requires not only mastery of business as it is done today but also a deep understanding of how the aviation business works.

The Master of Business Administration in Aviation (MBAA), offered jointly by Embry‑Riddle and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), aims to prepare you to advance in the aviation business and pilot airlines through the multiple challenges they face with graduation possible in as little as 15 months.

IATA represents nearly 300 airlines comprising 83% of global air traffic, and its importance to the aviation industry is well-founded. Through this partnership, we are proud to offer a groundbreaking curriculum tailored to those seeking a career in airline management and taught through an unrivaled industry lens.
