MSc in International Air Transport and Operations Management

The master IATOM is a four-semester international program to meet global aeronautical and aviation industry needs. ENAC and its partners offer four training tracks: Hong Kong University of Science Technology (HKUST), and Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi. Furthermore, we signed agreements with Beihang University in China and Institut Teknologi Bandung in Indonesia for the same. MSc IATOM is designed to emphasize the application of up-to-date engineering and management concepts or methods of the aeronautical and aviation industry. The full-time two-year master IATOM aims at providing technical and management expertise necessary to a future manager in an international company.

Project management is the backbone of the master IATOM concerns.

Four training tracks are offered:

• Master Aerospace - IATOM ENAC: it consists of the full 4-semester master program at ENAC in Toulouse
• Master Aerospace - IATOM with HKUST-ENAC, BEIHANG, ITB, or Sorbonne AD-ENAC: it consists of a joint master's program with 1st semester performed at our partner universities and 3 last semesters at ENAC, to expose students to international aeronautical environments. For four programs, HKUST-ENAC, BEIHANG-ENAC, ITB-ENAC, and Sorbonne AD-ENAC streams, students attend a second-semester program focusing on Aeronautical Maintenance and Airworthiness engineering mainly.
