Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (MACLM051)

Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (MACLM051) at LSTH

Global supply chains keep getting longer, faster and stranger — and air cargo carries the parts of those chains that can't wait. The Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (MACLM051) is the third pathway in LSTH's cargo and logistics master's family, leaning more strategically toward the global picture: how aviation supply chains connect to broader logistics networks, what shapes carrier strategy, and where the value moves.

This pathway tends to attract candidates who already have some cargo or logistics grounding and want a more strategic framing as they step up.

Why Strategy Matters in Cargo

Cargo carriers don't all play the same game. Integrated express operators run a fundamentally different model from belly-cargo passenger airlines or freighter-only operators, and forwarders sit on top of all of them with their own commercial logic. The Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management gives you the analytical framework to see those differences clearly — useful whether you're inside one of those businesses or buying from them.

Who This Master's Is For

Cargo professionals targeting strategy, network planning or commercial roles.
Logistics managers moving up into multi-region responsibility.
Consultants and analysts working with aviation cargo clients.
Career changers from related fields with a strategic interest in air cargo.

Where Graduates Go

Graduates of the Master in Air Cargo and Logistics Management often move into network and capacity planning, commercial cargo roles, consulting roles touching aviation cargo, or senior management within forwarder and integrator businesses.
