Diploma in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (DACLM062)
Diploma in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (DACLM062) at LSTH
If you've ever stood near a freight terminal at dusk and watched ULDs roll past the apron, you'll understand why air cargo people talk about their work the way they do. It's tight, time-sensitive, and unforgiving of sloppy paperwork. The Diploma in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (DACLM062) at the London School of Tourism and Hospitality is built for people who want to take that world seriously and learn how it actually runs.
This is a Diploma-level qualification, so we aim it at learners with some prior exposure to aviation, transport or logistics, or those moving across from adjacent fields such as warehousing or freight forwarding. The Diploma in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (DACLM062) sits between an entry-level certificate and a Bachelor, and that suits a lot of working professionals who want a formal qualification without committing to a full degree.
Why Air Cargo Skills Travel Well
Cargo isn't a glamorous corner of aviation, but it pays attention to detail in a way few sectors do. Shippers care about dwell time, station managers care about offload accuracy, and DGR rules don't bend for anyone. Once you understand the rhythm — pre-alerts, build-up, ramp handovers, IROPs recovery — those habits transfer across carriers and across countries.
Who the Diploma in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (DACLM062) Is For
- Cargo agents and warehouse staff who want a documented qualification to support a promotion.
- Freight forwarders moving into airline-side or GHA roles.
- Career changers from road or sea logistics targeting air freight.
- International students aiming for cargo and ground services roles at major hubs.
Where Graduates Tend to Land
Graduates of the Diploma in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (DACLM062) typically progress into cargo handling, export/import documentation, ramp coordination and customer service roles with airlines, GHAs and freight forwarders. Some move into operations control or planning desks after a few years on the floor. Outcomes depend on your experience and the local labour market, so we'd encourage honest conversations with recruiters about what each role really looks like day to day.
How the Programme Is Delivered
The Diploma is taught on campus in London and supported by remote learning where appropriate.

Module structure and intake calendar are confirmed at enrolment.
