I would like to encourage you all to carry on with this transcendent corporate culture and work ethic, and sustain the legacy of our proud 70 years of history and success. Moreover, Ethiopian technology leadership, owning the largest and most modern In-flight Catering Centre in Africa, and operating the most modern fleet in the industry, will clearly enhance your professional competence and make you ready for the next African Aviation development. Congratulations and welcome to the Ethiopian family'.

Since its inception in 1956, Ethiopian Aviation Academy has graduated aviation professionals in multiple skills and capacities: Pilots, Aircraft technicians, Cabin crew, Marketing, Catering professionals and others in the area of Ground operations and Management and Leadership courses.
