Answer
Hi,

The MBA in Aviation is actually a fairly rare offering around the world.  I am aware of at least two MBA in Aviation programs that are offered via the internet and/or a combined internet/in attendance hybrid.  The two institutions are:

Concordia University in Montreal, Canada....MBA in aviation is offered via the John Molson School of Business.  Simply do a "Google" search for Concordia University John Molson School of Business and I think you will find the information on the MBA in Aviation.

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL, USA.  Their website is www.erau.edu

I wish you the best in your search for a program that works for you,
