Answer
Hi, Nanda:

Sorry for the delay in response!  I will try to assist!

Since I am not an aerospace engineer, and I am more involved in non-engineering aviation degree programs, I am listing the latter for you:

In the UK, there are three schools of some size which offer aviation-related degrees that you might be interested in:

CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY offers a Master of Science in Air Transport Management (both 12 months, full time format and in a part time Executive format).  They also offer the MSc in Airport Planning and Management, also 12 month full time or Executive formats.

CITY UNIVERSITY LONDON offers a Masters in Air Transport Management, 3 years, part time

LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY offers a Masters in Aviation and International Trade.

In the USA, you have the following options for non-engineering masters degrees:

Aviation MBA programs are offered by:

Daniel Webster College, Nashua, New Hampshire

Dowling University, Oakdale, New York

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida

Airport-related (management and planning) Masters degrees are offered by:

Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Florida

Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, Tennessee

A Master's in Business Administration with an emphasis in Aerospace is offered by the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

Masters in aviation and logistics are offered by:

Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama

Southeast Oklahoma State University, Durant, OKlahoma

And, finally, two masters in Public Administration with a Concentration in Aviation Administration are offered by:

Southern Illinois University Carbondale

and

University of Nebraska at Omaha

I hope that this listing is of assistance to you!

In the UK, the best-known of the universities listed (as it relates to aviation) is Cranfield University

In the USA, all of the universities listed are quite reputable;  some, however, do offer on-line programs, including Embry Riddle and Daniel Webster.  

Best wishes to you in your  search for the best degree for you!

Sincerely,

David A. NewMyer, Ph.D., Professor and Chair
