Who We Are
Ethiopia’s first independent aviation tutoring, mentorship, and storytelling platform.
Abel
Founder & Aviation expert
Meet the Pilot
Life of Aviation by Abel was born from a desire to democratize access to aviation knowledge in Ethiopia. We aren't just teaching you how to fly; we are teaching you the discipline, the history, and the character required to command the skies.
"Even though many experts advised me not to include this symbol in my brand because it’s connected to religion, I personally admire it deeply. For me, the Pelican represents love, sacrifice, and devotion."
We exist for dreamers: aspiring pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers, and aviation managers. Through structured learning and inspiring storytelling, we help young people understand aviation deeply and discover the path that is right for them.
Our Purpose
Built on the values of creativity, curiosity, reliability, and professionalism, we bring aviation education to life through accessible teaching, meaningful content, and real-world insights.
The Meaning of ጳልቃ
A unique element of our identity is the pelican icon. In Ethiopian tradition (ጳልቃ), the pelican represents love, sacrifice, and devotion. It reflects our commitment to guiding students with the same level of dedication.
It is a reminder that aviation is not only about flying—it is about purpose, growth, and service.
"በነጮቹ ደግሞ pelican ፔሊካን ተብላ ትታወቃለች ለልጆቿ ባላት ልዩና ጽኑ ፍቅር ምክንያት የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ተምሳሌት ተደርጋ ትወሰዳለች። ጳልቃ፥ የረሃብ ጊዜ መጥቶ የሚጫር የሚቀመስ በየብስና በባሕር አንዳች ምግብ ካጣች፣ ከራሷ አካል በጥፍሯ ደሟን አፍስሳ ሥጋዋን መንትፋ ለልጆቿ ሰጥታ ክፉውን ቀን ታሻግራለች።"
