Airfield Operations Specialists

Special Requirements

Airfield Operations Specialist

An airfield operations specialist generally works for either the government or the military, although some work for private airlines. They manage the operations of an airport and put together flight logs. An associate or bachelor's degree in aviation management, along with taking courses given by the FAA and work experience, is good preparation for this career. Computer, crisis management and critical thinking skills, a driver's license and perhaps a pilot's license will add to your marketability.
