About EDAERO Academy
Part of the EDAERO
ecosystem. Focused on
operations and people.
EDAERO Academy is the education, operator-solutions and audit arm associated with the EDAERO ecosystem — built and led with direct private aviation operational experience.
EDAERO Academy
Education, audits and
operational excellence
EDAERO Academy focuses on education, training, professional development, audits and operator performance — helping private aviation operators standardize cabin operations, and helping individual professionals build practical operational capability.
Core EDAERO
A related but
distinct platform
Core EDAERO focuses on aviation workforce infrastructure — professional sourcing, verification and mission orchestration for the private aviation professional and operator marketplace. EDAERO Academy is a distinct arm within the same ecosystem, focused on education and operational excellence rather than workforce marketplace functionality.
The Founder

Elena A. Dragomir
Founder & CEO — EDAERO
The combination of law enforcement discipline, legal training and frontline aviation experience created something rare in this industry — a founder who understands both the operational reality of private aviation and the risk exposure that comes with it. EDAERO Academy reflects that dual lens in every audit, every standard and every program it builds.
Elena's background spans 14+ years in aviation and 7+ years in law enforcement, working across Part 91 and Part 135 operations and across FAA, EASA and GCAA operating environments — the practical, cross-border reality of private aviation, not a theoretical one.

The Origin
EDAERO wasn't built
from an idea. It was built
from a problem.
With a background that bridges law enforcement, legal studies and aviation operations, the patterns were impossible to ignore. The same vulnerabilities kept appearing across every environment: situations escalating because no one had the right information at the right moment, crew left without protection, operators carrying exposure they couldn't see, standards that lived in one person's memory instead of the operation itself.
Working across Part 91 and Part 135 operations, and across FAA, EASA and GCAA operating environments, one truth became undeniable: private aviation is an industry built on trust, yet often operating without the infrastructure that trust requires. EDAERO Academy is the operational answer to that gap — audits, documented standards and practical training built from lived experience, not a generic curriculum.
How We Work
Practical over
academic
-
Operationally Grounded
Every deliverable is built from real operational experience, not theory added to look comprehensive.
-
Direct Operational Insight
Founder-led work draws on lived cabin operations, catering, crew management and mission preparation — not secondhand research.
-
Distinct Products, Clear Commercial Purpose
Audit, training, performance programs and consulting stay separate so you always know what you're engaging EDAERO for.
-
Discreet by Nature
Private aviation demands confidentiality and discretion — a standard we apply to how we work with every operator and professional.
