Master in Grounds Operations Management (MGOM060)
Master in Grounds Operations Management (MGOM060) at LSTH
Ground operations is the spine of an airline's network. If aircraft don't turn on time, schedules unravel; if the spine fails, everything else looks bad. The Master in Grounds Operations Management (MGOM060) is built for people who want to run that spine at a senior level — across handling companies, airline station operations, airport authorities and operations control.
This is a postgraduate programme. Content is strategic — performance management, SLAs, safety leadership, resource planning, recovery from disruption — rather than introductory. It assumes either a degree or substantive industry experience and aims at the leadership layer that owns the operational outcomes.
Why Ground Operations Leadership Is Its Own Specialism
You cannot manage what you don't understand. Senior ground operations leaders need fluency in airside safety, turnaround coordination, contracts with airlines, regulatory exposure and labour-intensive workforce management. A focused Master in Grounds Operations Management (MGOM060) gives you that fluency in a deliberate, structured way.
Who This Master Suits
- Existing ground operations supervisors and duty managers stepping into senior roles.
- Airline station managers wanting deeper command of handling contracts.
- Airport operations staff aiming at terminal or duty manager seniority.
- Aviation graduates with related experience pursuing a specialist postgraduate route.
Where Graduates Typically Progress

As always, the master is a credibility lever — hiring still depends on your record and the market.
