Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (MACLM062)
Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (MACLM062) at LSTH
Air cargo doesn't get the marketing attention passenger aviation does, but it carries roughly a third of global trade by value. The Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management is built for people aiming at leadership inside that side of aviation — operations managers, freight forwarders, network planners and people moving up inside cargo carriers or integrated logistics groups.
This master's is one of three air cargo and logistics master's pathways at LSTH (MACLM062, MACLM055 and MACLM051). MACLM062 places its emphasis on optimisation, planning, service-level performance and compliance — written for candidates who want a strategic lens on cargo operations.
Why Specialise at Master's Level
Air cargo runs on its own rules — dangerous goods, perishables, security, capacity sharing, ULD logic — and senior roles increasingly want candidates who already understand them. A general supply chain master's gives you the framework; the Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management gives you that framework already applied to airfreight.
Who This Master's Is For
- Cargo operations supervisors stepping up into management.
- Freight forwarders moving into senior or strategic roles.
- Logistics graduates specialising in aviation.
- Career changers from passenger aviation moving cargo-side.
Where Graduates Typically Go
Graduates of the Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management move into cargo operations management, network planning, freight forwarder leadership, capacity and yield roles, or compliance-heavy positions inside carriers and integrators. The master's doesn't guarantee a specific role, but it positions candidates well for the leadership track inside cargo.
