Abstract

Growing numbers of students pursuing management careers in aviation are seeking graduate degrees to prepare for the complex and evolving challenges in the aviation industry. This study questioned members of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) about their profession and the appropriateness of current education opportunities in aviation administration. The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge and skills that the next generation of airport administrators will need to effectively contend with the new industrial environment.
