For flight operation management to be carried out safely, there is a need for staff to plan, implement, monitor and control flight operations; to inform the flight team upon the responsible pilot’s demand or when necessary; to monitor flight flow and to transmit emergency information to the relevant units. The Flight Operations Management Program was launched at Istanbul Kültür University in order to improve the aviation sector in the country day by day and to train the necessary individuals.

The training period of the Istanbul Kültür University (İKÜ) Flight Operations Management Program is two (2) years. In our undergraduate program, core courses such as communication and navigational aids, basic operation performance, air traffic rules and ground services, routing and control, aircraft weight and balance, aerodynamics and basic aircraft knowledge will be provided. Alongside these courses, the content will be enriched with management-based courses and sectoral applications in aviation.

Students of the İKÜ Flight Operations Management Program will have the opportunity to communicate with the people working in the sector thanks to our university, which is in contact with institutions and organizations operating in the aviation sector. They will also have the opportunity to develop practical knowledge with experienced instructors from the sector.
