Rapid global developments, increasing competition, advanced communication and transportation technologies, and the restriction of the price range in end products have created the need to bring raw materials, inventory, end products and relevant information to the final consumption point in a cost-effective way. The ability to meet these needs in the most effective, fast and productive way has led the birth of the concept of "Logistics". Logistics, as a term, is defined as the process of planning, execution and controlling the two-way flow and also storage of materials, services and information in the supply chain; from the raw material at the starting point to the end product at the final consumption point; in order to meet customer demands. The concept of logistics has emerged due to the distance between buyers and sellers. According to Turkish Language Association (TDK) logistics is defined as the efficient orchestration and implementation of the transportation of all kinds of products, services and information flow, from the point of origin to the point of arrival, in order to meet the demands.
Transportation and logistics sector greatly affects the competition between companies. In order to keep competitive advantage, the importance of the air logistics, as well as other areas of logistics, must be acknowledged. Air Logistics is a program focused on the strategic management and control of the flow of goods, information and human resources in the developing logistics industry. The core objective of the program is to train highly competent staff that will be employed in air logistics industry. Along with completing the program with the necessary theoretical knowledge and skills; the graduates develop awareness on keeping up with the changes and developments in the aviation sector today and in the coming years.
Students who graduate from the Air Logistics program receive the title of "Air Logistics Technician." They have the opportunity to work in planning, marketing, materials management, inventory management, warehouse management, distribution, transportation, insurance, customs services, purchasing, customer service, foreign trade and sales departments, and air cargo departments of airline companies. Graduates who prefer a career outside the aviation sector can work in the fields of logistics and industry.
