Civil aviation, both in Poland and around the world, is developing very dynamically. However, the experience so far indicates a gap in the managerial competencies of the staff supervising and managing various aviation institutions.
The need to educate qualified staff and improve the competences of those who already participate in the process of managing or supervising aviation entities is today a prerequisite for the reform process in this industry.
Thanks to the studies you will gain or deepen the knowledge and skills in the field of management in civil aviation organizations. You will join the group of qualified staff and increase the competences needed in the process of managing aviation entities.

MBA studies in aviation open up a number of career opportunities in all types of management positions:
For the CPK, which is currently the largest infrastructure investment in Poland, the support of the scientific and research sector is absolutely crucial. Cooperation brings benefits for both parties: Lazarski Aviation Academy gains a relationship with a prospective employer, and the CPK gains access to an important research center and its professional staff.

We see enormous interest in the aviation industry, which is a strategically important sector for the European Union. Before the pandemic, it contributed EUR 300 billion (or around 2.1% of GDP) to the European economy, providing over 5 million jobs. As statistics show, the industry is constantly growing in strength. Therefore, we’ve decided to launch a new field of study by establishing cooperation with one of the most important entities in the industry.

The Airline Management specialization was created thanks to the cooperation of the Lazarski Aviation Academy with partners such as IATA, LOT Polish Airlines and PGL. During a two-year program, students take classes at Lazarski University in Warsaw, online and practical workshops with IATA experts in Geneva. They can also use our flight simulator free of charge and at any time and integrate during the many events that we organize for them, as well as have the opportunity to fly with an instructor on certified simulators. After graduation, the graduates of the Airline Management program will receive the Lazarski University diploma and the IATA certificate – the most recognizable document in the world that confirms their competence to work in the air transport market.
