Answer
Hi, Anant:

Thank you for your question.....I will try to assist!

The universities that offer the Aviation MBA or an aviation management mba are:

1.  Concordia University, John Molson School of Business, Montreal, Quebec, Canada:  They offer an International Aviation MBA via two modes:  Residential and hybrid (part residential and part on-line).  Their contact information is:

2.  Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida, USA.  Their contact information is:

3.  There is a school in Paris, France, that offers something, but, I am not sure of the name of the school.

Other than that, I am not aware of any other MBA programs in aviation.  

There are two MPA (Master of Public Administration) programs in Aviation Administration that I am aware of at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and at my institution, Southern Illinois University Carbondale.  The contact information for SIUC is below.  

An MPA in Aviation Administration will focus more on airports than on airlines.

I wish you the best!
