Course Overview

This Advanced Diploma Airline Communication Strategy is a 12 to 15 months programme that develops senior operational competence in airline communication strategy, covering brand voice, crisis communications, media handling and stakeholder engagement across full-service and low-cost UK carriers. It sits within the Airline Management & Services department at the London School of Aviation & Airport Management (LSAAM) and is aligned with Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) strategy standards, Institute of Customer Service (ICS) service excellence themes and IATA passenger communications guidance.

By the end of the Advanced Diploma in Airline Communication Strategy, you will be able to lead a small communications workstream, contribute to a crisis rehearsal and present a communication case to a senior review board.

Delivery draws on the operational realities of UK airline communication strategy, using reference frameworks from International Air Transport Association (IATA), Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) rather than generic business content. The Advanced Diploma is taught by former airline and airport practitioners and paced so that working students can complete assessment work alongside employment.
