Hello, An MBA in aviation is like any other MBA but the only difference is that it's in the field of aviation rather than say HR or Finance or operations management, etc. One has to be a graduate before thinking of this course. Also not many business schools offer this very interesting course. This MBA will train the student into all aspects of aviation from the perspective of a business venture. On the other hand, aviation management can be termed as managing different aspects of management not from the perspective of loss and profit but from the perspective of successfully completing the operations. It is in fact amalgamation of different aspects like, ticketing, security, boarding ramp, cargo, cabin crew, etc., each performing it's assigned role to the hilt and efficiently also.To conclude one can say that MBA in aviation shall teach how to conduct business successfully while managing aviation is managing each and every function successful and with least fuss.

In terms of course and syllabus they coincide by 80%. Aviation deals with the mechanics related to aeroplanes, jetplanes, missiles, satellites, etc. But aviation management includes managing the operations of the aviation department and ensuring all the maintenance, safety, and scheduling operations are executed satisfactorily. The MBA in aviation would be at a PG level and would require you to be a graduate to get admission and can offer managerial/senior positions after completion. Aviation management depending on the level of course completed would allow jobs in all the stated departments at starting levels.
