Mestrado Avançado em Gestão Aeroportuária

The Specialized Master's diploma in Airport Management was created in 1989 by ENAC in response to demand from the professionals of this sector. Due to the particularly important role played by airports in the process of liberalization of air transport, the opening of airport assistance, the diversity of occupational activity involved in the operation, the increasingly prominent place taken by environmental and safety issues, the level of competition between airport platforms, general economic problems and problems specific to a business sector that is now a major part of the national economy, there is a need for highly skilled airport managers, with the competence required to manage and develop each airport. The Specialized Master's diploma in Airport Management is designed specifically to train these specialists, who are highly valued and much sought after by airports.

Prerequisites

Generally, candidates for admission to a Specialized Master's degree program (MS) must already hold a diploma at the level of [Bac + 5] or [Bac + 4 + 3 years of professional experience after Bac+4]. However, it is possible to apply with a Bac+4 level, despite having no professional experience, but the number of places for candidates in this (exceptional) category is very limited (maximum of 4).

For the Specialized Master's in Airport Management, the following are considered, among others:

• Diploma from an engineering or business school
.
• Degree (Master 2, DESS, DEA, or non-French equivalents) in law, economics, or business.

Particular consideration will be given to candidates who have completed work placements with airports, airlines, travel agents, or aircraft construction companies.
