Alumni Pr<strong>of</strong>iles<br />
“I think a big part <strong>of</strong> choosing <strong>Cranfield</strong> for me was the <strong>Cranfield</strong> name, it is obviously a very well thought <strong>of</strong><br />
institution. The Air Transport course at <strong>Cranfield</strong> is recognised as one <strong>of</strong> the best <strong>of</strong> its kind. I think being amongst<br />
other post graduates helps you focus. A massive benefit is being around other, like minded individuals, people with<br />
the same sort <strong>of</strong> passion and interest that you have. A really good thing about the Air Transport people here is the<br />
network <strong>of</strong> past students and alumni that they have and that really does count for a lot. The Department is very<br />
good at publicising jobs that are not necessarily publically advertised, that come from that network that they have<br />
established.”<br />
Thomas Howe (MSc ATM 2006/7)<br />
Cargo Charter Executive, Air Charter Service plc<br />
“I heard about <strong>Cranfield</strong>’s reputation for postgraduate studies and liked the fact that the courses were very specific<br />
and you could choose a particular area that was very much focused on where you wanted to move to. The course<br />
is very much tailored to prepare you for moving into a certain industry and a certain area <strong>of</strong> that industry. It is nice<br />
to know that your course and the facilities around you are geared up for what you need as a postgraduate student.<br />
I think it really prepares you and gives you a good grounding in a wide variety <strong>of</strong> areas. One <strong>of</strong> the nice things<br />
about <strong>Cranfield</strong> is that you will meet people from all corners <strong>of</strong> the globe. I would definitely recommend <strong>Cranfield</strong>,<br />
and in a way that is how I ended up here, it was recommended to me by a family member. If you wanted to follow<br />
a course <strong>of</strong> study in this specific area <strong>Cranfield</strong> is a great place to come and do it.”<br />
Catherine Ashman (MSc APM 2006/07)<br />
Airport Planner, Arup<br />
“<strong>Cranfield</strong> does have a lot <strong>of</strong> courses, for which it is the leader in its field. Your mind set is quite different when you<br />
are doing a post graduate course, being in an environment where it is just post graduate study taking place helps<br />
that. It is nice to spend a year studying, working and getting to know people who share a common interest and<br />
have common goals. The course itself is very broad, it is varied and the quality <strong>of</strong> teaching is generally very high.<br />
It put my career aspirations within my grasp. I would recommend <strong>Cranfield</strong> to other people. There are a lot <strong>of</strong> very<br />
good courses here and being quite far away from cities, it is a place which is conducive to knuckling down and<br />
working hard. It does you a lot <strong>of</strong> favours and opens a lot <strong>of</strong> doors.”<br />
Sam Abuel-Ealeh (MSc ATM 2006/07)<br />
Senior Officer Network Sales, Qatar Airways<br />
“ The <strong>Cranfield</strong> Air Transport Management MSc is extremely well respected in the business. My current job, working at<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the world ’ s leading aircraft lessors, came about directly through the company ’ s past good experiences with<br />
<strong>Cranfield</strong> graduates – going forward, the <strong>Cranfield</strong> name continues to open doors and support my career.<br />
The knowledge I gained is only half the story – the friends I made and the close-knit ‘ <strong>Cranfield</strong> community ’ are what<br />
turned a good year into a great one. For me there ’ s no doubt - for people enthusiastic for a career in the aviation<br />
world, <strong>Cranfield</strong> is the Number One choice. ”<br />
Jon Howey (MSc 2005/06)<br />
Aviation Analyst, AerCap B.V.<br />
“ Before coming to <strong>Cranfield</strong> I graduated in Transport Management and gathered working experience in aviation<br />
through internships, my first thesis and a student traineeship. So the passion for air transport has always been<br />
there. But I felt my academic education in aviation was not complete. After comparing the programmes <strong>of</strong> various<br />
universities with a good reputation in the air transport industry, I realised that <strong>Cranfield</strong> is <strong>of</strong>fering the most<br />
adequate and well-diversified course. And the course delivered what it promised: a 360° view <strong>of</strong> the industry,<br />
including airports, airlines, leasing companies, aircraft and engine manufacturers, air traffic control, aircraft<br />
maintenance etc. But most important, it enabled me to build up an invaluable network consisting <strong>of</strong> people from my<br />
class as well as permanent and visiting lecturers.<br />
But the most crucial question is: did <strong>Cranfield</strong> add value to my CV and therefore have an impact on my career?<br />
Well, although the aviation business was still in a very tense situation when I finished the course, I started as a<br />
Management Assistant with one <strong>of</strong> the world ’ s leading aircraft leasing companies, debis AirFinance, just one month<br />
after giving my final presentation at <strong>Cranfield</strong>. I am convinced this would have not been possible without the<br />
<strong>Cranfield</strong> name in my application. In Feb 2006 I moved to Condor Flugdienst. ”<br />
Matthias Discher (MSc 2003/04)<br />
Quality Manager Aircraft Maintenance and Operations Control Centre, Condor
“My initial career was in a completely unrelated field, working as a manager in the entertainment industry. However,<br />
having always been extremely interested in the airline industry, I realised that this was where I wanted to be. Thus,<br />
I looked at my options and realised that <strong>Cranfield</strong> represented an ideal opportunity to increase my knowledge <strong>of</strong> air<br />
transport, and to enable me to establish a career in the industry.<br />
The course was extremely interesting and enjoyable – spending a year with like-minded people and total<br />
immersion into the airline world, meant I learnt so much about all aspects <strong>of</strong> the business, both in and out <strong>of</strong> the<br />
classroom. It did take a lot <strong>of</strong> dedication and hard work, but was ultimately extremely rewarding and worthwhile.<br />
The course culminated in a case study where we, as groups, put together a detailed start-up airline business plan,<br />
which enabled us to put all the theory into practice.<br />
I undertook my thesis on behalf <strong>of</strong> Channel Express, a Passenger Charter and Cargo airline, who were looking at<br />
expanding into the scheduled market. The knowledge I had gained, and also the final case study enabled me to<br />
join them on leaving the course to assist in managing the start up, and then the ongoing business development <strong>of</strong><br />
their scheduled operation – Jet2.<br />
I subsequently moved to MyTravelLite – the low fares airline which was part <strong>of</strong> the MyTravel Group PLC, and after<br />
an initial spell as Head <strong>of</strong> Marketing and Development, assumed the role <strong>of</strong> Managing Director - something that<br />
without the knowledge gained at <strong>Cranfield</strong> would have been impossible! In March 2006 I moved to Montreal to join<br />
IATA and in May 2008 returned to the UK as Commercial Director <strong>of</strong> bmibaby. ”<br />
Julian Carr (MSc 2001/02)<br />
Commercial Director, bmibaby<br />
“Before starting the MSc in Air Transport at <strong>Cranfield</strong> <strong>University</strong> I had not worked in the air transport industry. I had<br />
to decide whether a year spent at <strong>Cranfield</strong> would, in fact, assist me in my objective <strong>of</strong> moving into air transport. I<br />
decided to take the chance and can say, without any hesitation, that taking the <strong>Cranfield</strong> MSc in Air Transport was<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the most useful years <strong>of</strong> my life, as well as being very interesting and enjoyable. The <strong>Cranfield</strong> name helped<br />
me to secure a British Airways work experience attachment during the winter holiday <strong>of</strong> the course. But the real test<br />
was to see whether I could secure a permanent position within the industry at the end <strong>of</strong> the course. As it turned<br />
out, the <strong>Cranfield</strong> <strong>University</strong> brand turned out to be one <strong>of</strong> the most well respected in the industry. My year at<br />
<strong>Cranfield</strong> certainly helped me to become the Marketing Manager <strong>of</strong> BAA Southampton Airport. I enjoyed 5<br />
fascinating years with the airport. In 2005, I was fortunate to be <strong>of</strong>fered a group commercial role with Manchester<br />
Airports Group Plc. Without a doubt, the year at <strong>Cranfield</strong> taking the MSc was one <strong>of</strong> the best career decision I<br />
have made. I would certainly recommend it ” .<br />

Outside air transport, one <strong>of</strong> my main areas <strong>of</strong> interest is recreational flying, including aerobatics, which I practice<br />
regularly since 5 years ago when I obtained my private pilots' licence. Additionally, I enjoy playing sports,<br />
especially volleyball and track and field athletics, which I practiced and competed in during high school. Travelling<br />
is also one <strong>of</strong> my favourite activites. I particularly like Southern Europe, but visiting new places and exploring new<br />
cultures is also important and interesting for me, and I never miss a chance to see and learn something new.<br />
Career Objectives<br />
As I have a background <strong>of</strong> technical education in aviation, I would enjoy being able to apply it in my future<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional activity. I see myself ideally having a job in an area that would allow this, such as flight operations,<br />
airline fleet planning, or network and route development. Finance, strategy and marketing are also subjects in<br />
which I developed particular interest during my studies at <strong>Cranfield</strong>. Overall, I would be happy within any area <strong>of</strong><br />
aviation because I have a genuine passion for the industry, and I am sure I have developed the right skills and<br />
mindset to excel in it.

Activities / Interests<br />
I am interested in activities related to international exchange. I have attended several international courses in<br />
different countries and I have volunteered in International workcamp. During my studies I was one <strong>of</strong> the founding<br />
members <strong>of</strong> Euroavia Terrassa-Barcelona, European Association <strong>of</strong> Aerospace Students, collaborating with other<br />
universities, attending to Fly-in Torino, Hamburg’s Symposium, Le Bourget Airshow and organising Fly-in<br />
Barcelona-Terrassa. Apart from my activities related to aviation, I coached roller skating to primary school<br />
students, after many years <strong>of</strong> competing nationally in the sport.<br />
Career Objectives<br />
After completing my aerospace engineering I decided to undertake the MSc in Air Transport Management to focus<br />
my career on the airlines business. I would ideally like to work for an airline or an airline consultancy company,<br />
within areas such as revenue management, fleet planning, network development, safety management or<br />
maintenance. I would also be interested in working for an aircraft manufacturer within departments dedicated to<br />
relationship with airlines such as marketing analysis/sales or customer service.

university. I was elected for the position <strong>of</strong> Treasurer for 2006/07 and supported the club during 2008/09, winning<br />

<strong>of</strong> a new language. Furthermore, I thoroughly enjoy interacting with others and keeping as active as possible.<br />
Career Objectives<br />

allows me to gain valuable experience in the air transport industry, in an international context, in order to reach a<br />
senior management and eventually executive level. Although highly enthusiastic to work in the many sectors <strong>of</strong> the<br />
air transport industry, in particular I aim for a career within the airline, airport, consultancy and tourism sectors. I<br />
am also particularly enthusiastic in pursuing a career in which I am able to genuinely contribute to the development<br />

Career Objectives<br />
Having studied logistics formerly, I see myself working in the aviation industry with either passenger or cargo<br />
services or logistics & supply chain management. I have previously found strategy, management and marketing<br />
especially interesting, both during my undergraduate study and coupled specifically to the aviation industry. Ideally,<br />
the job would allow me to travel, and provide me with a dynamic, challenging and unpredictable working day,<br />
where I can utilise and further develop the analytical skills that I have acquired during my studies.

Work Experience<br />
2004-2007 Kent Canoes - Sales Assistant (part time)<br />
Wrotham, U.K<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> a team <strong>of</strong> three staff members, was relied upon to deal with a wide variety <strong>of</strong> tasks<br />
including assisting customers, managing deliveries and stock, and updating<br />
databases/website. Developed key customer service skills, and took on high levels <strong>of</strong><br />
responsibility, including cash management and closing and opening shop. Assumed key<br />
roles in modernising shop, moving to new premises, and promoting the business.<br />
Activities / Interests<br />
My main activity is kayaking - a sport in which I am a qualified coach, regularly leading groups on rivers around<br />
Europe. As part <strong>of</strong> this, I held the post <strong>of</strong> Treasurer <strong>of</strong> Oxford <strong>University</strong>’s Canoe and Kayak Club in 2008/9, and<br />
was Trips Secretary the following year. In addition, I am an avid follower <strong>of</strong> comedy, holding the position <strong>of</strong><br />
Production Manager <strong>of</strong> the Oxford Imps (the <strong>University</strong>’s improvised comedy group) from 2007-2010, taking part<br />
in the 2009 and 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringes, and also technically directing various sell-out shows in Oxford.<br />
I am also a member <strong>of</strong> the blues band Venture South, playing bass guitar. Finally, I attend – wherever possible –<br />
lectures at the Royal Geographical Society, to stay up-to-date on matters environmental, social, and economic.<br />
Career Objectives<br />
I have long held an interest in the air transport industry - as can be seen, for instance, in the thesis I undertook as<br />
part <strong>of</strong> my first degree. So, my current Masters studies allow me to add an array <strong>of</strong> practical, industry-specific<br />
knowledge to the more general, background knowledge on issues - such as the environment, society, and<br />
economy – tackled as part <strong>of</strong> my degree in Geography. This combination enables me to effectively operate within<br />
the air transport industry, already possessing a wealth <strong>of</strong> knowledge and understanding <strong>of</strong> the industry, while<br />
retaining the ability to look outside the industry – to be able to take the view <strong>of</strong> an outsider looking in, where<br />
appropriate. Finally, I am more than happy to relocate, or travel, as necessary.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol<br />
Graduation Internship: Department <strong>of</strong> Baggage, Logistics and Innovation<br />
The research objective <strong>of</strong> this graduation internship was to analyze whether capacity and<br />
timeliness problems may arise in the E-basement <strong>of</strong> Amsterdam Airport Schiphol during peak<br />
hours in the future. And to examine whether the baggage process could be improved by<br />
processing the baggage flows in the baggage buffer <strong>of</strong> the E-basement in a more effective<br />
way, so that in the future, with the same resources, more baggage could be processed<br />
without a negative impact on the quality <strong>of</strong> the baggage process.<br />
European Space Agency (ESA-ESTEC)<br />
External Project: Developing a Lunar Rover<br />
For my thesis at Aerospace Engineering I planned a lunar mission to the moon together with<br />
a team <strong>of</strong> students. The goal <strong>of</strong> this lunar mission was to bring a rover vehicle to the moon as<br />
cheap as possible. Designing this lunar rover itself was also a part <strong>of</strong> the project. This<br />
wonderful project was based on the Google Lunar X-prize; pr<strong>of</strong>essional teams were working<br />
on the same project as well. During this project ESA-ESTEC was partially involved. At the<br />
end <strong>of</strong> the project, ESA-ESTEC had special interest in enhancing the design <strong>of</strong> the lunar<br />
rover vehicle. Therefore, I worked with my project team at ESA-ESTEC as part <strong>of</strong> an external<br />
project for developing this enhanced lunar rover vehicle for the period <strong>of</strong> one year.<br />
I am an active person and enjoy snowboarding, cycling and playing volleyball. At my volleyball club in The<br />
Netherlands I have been trainer and coach <strong>of</strong> several youth and senior teams. Furthermore, I have been the<br />
captain <strong>of</strong> the team where I was playing in. Whilst I was studying at Delft <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Technology I have been the<br />
mentor and project-coach for the first-year students at Aerospace Engineering, the treasurer in the board <strong>of</strong> the<br />
study society and the chief <strong>of</strong> the sponsor-committee and the magazine-committee. At the moment I am the course<br />
representative for the Airport Planning and Management course at <strong>Cranfield</strong> <strong>University</strong>. I take a keen interest in<br />
the aviation and the aerospace industry and enjoy keeping up-to-date with current developments.<br />
Career Objectives<br />
After finishing the Master <strong>of</strong> Science programme at Delft <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Technology my goal was to get more<br />
experience abroad. At the same time my aim was to get more specific knowledge in the field <strong>of</strong> strategic planning<br />
and management in the aviation sector. <strong>Cranfield</strong> <strong>University</strong> made both goals possible for me. My career<br />
aspirations are to find a stimulating and challenging position in the aviation sector that builds on my university skills<br />
and knowledge. I am an ambitious individual who wants to learn and develop under the guidance <strong>of</strong> those who are<br />
at the top <strong>of</strong> their field and then use those skills to become an expert myself.

Career Objectives<br />
In my bachelor degree the first three years were dedicated to aviation related technical and operational learning<br />
objectives.The fourth year was dedicated to gaining practical management experience. As airports have my<br />
specific interest and to develop further skills in the business, strategical and management side I participated in the<br />
Airport planning and management course at <strong>Cranfield</strong> <strong>University</strong>. This mix <strong>of</strong> skills provides me with the necessary<br />
base to achieve my objectives in this industry. These objectives include working in teams on strategy, planning or<br />
business projects, working abroad in different cultures and to continue my learning process.
Executive MSc in Airport Planning and Management (part-time)<br />
The part-time Executive MSc in Airport Planning and Management started in September 2008.<br />
It stems directly from its full-time equivalent, which was launched in October 2006. Besides<br />
having its origins in the full-time course, the part-time MSc shares modules with the Executive<br />
MSc in Air Transport Management and makes use <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> highly successful one week<br />
residential pr<strong>of</strong>essional short courses <strong>of</strong>fered to industry by the Department <strong>of</strong> Air Transport.<br />
The great advantage <strong>of</strong> having these short courses as part <strong>of</strong> the programme is that they bring<br />
together airport and air transport managers working all over the world. The wealth <strong>of</strong> experience<br />
that this interaction provides both in terms <strong>of</strong> gaining knowledge <strong>of</strong> different operating<br />
environments and having the opportunity to discuss airport and air transport issues with<br />
experienced practitioners makes this course unique. The nature <strong>of</strong> the student base encourages<br />
a self-motivating, interactive approach to learning, with much inter-student transference <strong>of</strong><br />
knowledge and skills.<br />
The course requires all students to complete the following eleven taught modules and a research<br />
thesis.<br />
� Air Transport Management Seminar<br />
� Regulatory Policy and Air Law<br />
� Statistical Analysis<br />
� Research Methods and Forecasting<br />
� Economics and Financial Management<br />
� Airport Strategic Management<br />
� Airport Environmental Planning<br />
� Airport Operations<br />
� Airport Design<br />
� Airport Business Management<br />
� Aviation Safety Management<br />
Students are also expected to complete a case study and a thesis.<br />
Students are registered for a three year period.<br />

Executive MSc in Air Transport Management (part-time)<br />
The part-time Executive MSc course was launched in November 1995 as a direct response to<br />
demand for such a programme from the air transport industry. It stems directly from its full-time<br />
equivalent, which has provided more than 700 graduates for the air transport sector over the<br />
past thirty five years. Besides having its origins in the full-time course, the part-time MSc makes<br />
use <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> highly successful one week residential pr<strong>of</strong>essional short courses the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Air Transport has been providing for the industry. The great advantage <strong>of</strong> having<br />
these short courses as part <strong>of</strong> the programme is that they bring together air transport managers<br />
working literally all over the world. The wealth <strong>of</strong> experience that this interaction provides both in<br />
terms <strong>of</strong> gaining knowledge <strong>of</strong> different operating environments and having the opportunity to<br />
discuss air transport issues with experienced practitioners makes the course unique. The nature<br />
<strong>of</strong> the student base encourages a self-motivating, interactive approach to learning, with much<br />
inter-student transference <strong>of</strong> knowledge and skills.<br />
Employers <strong>of</strong> students currently taking the course include: Airstream, Amadeus, Cargolux,<br />
Eurocopter, Qinetiq, Rolls Royce AeroEngines, Ryanair, GECAS, Qatar Airways, Kenyan CAA<br />
The aim <strong>of</strong> the course is to provide those employed in the air transport sector with an in-depth<br />
understanding <strong>of</strong>:<br />
� air transport economics and financial management<br />
� mathematical techniques relevant to air transport x air transport commercial practice<br />
� air transport operations (aircraft and infrastructure)<br />
The course consists <strong>of</strong> eleven modules <strong>of</strong> 1 week duration. Nine <strong>of</strong> the module are compulsory<br />
and must be taken during the first two years <strong>of</strong> the course (including a case study), the student<br />
can then choose 2 optional modules to complete in the third year, plus a thesis.<br />
