About

At General Lee Aviation, we are driven by a love of aviation and a commitment to sharing that passion with others. Our mission is to inspire and develop the next generation of aviators through exceptional aircraft operations, including flight training and maintenance services, all built on a foundation of safety, integrity, and a healthy learning culture.

Founded in 2023 and strengthened by the 2025 acquisition of Wetaskiwin Air Services and Absolute Aviation—respected names in Canadian aviation since 1975—we proudly carry forward a 50-year legacy of safety, professionalism, and service.

Based in Central Alberta and operating from both Wetaskiwin and Lacombe, we offer a dynamic training environment focused on sound decision-making, human factors awareness, and well-being. Our uncontrolled airport locations allow for minimal delays, lower costs, and more time flying, while proximity to controlled airspace provides valuable real-world experience.

Students train on a diverse fleet of high-wing and low-wing aircraft and in our certified AL-SIM simulator, ensuring consistent progress—even on poor weather days. Fully furnished accommodations are available, providing a comfortable, supportive environment that helps students stay focused and connected throughout their training journey.

Supported by our certified Aircraft Maintenance Organization (AMO), we provide expert maintenance not only for our own fleet but also for third-party operators across a variety of fixed-wing and helicopter aircraft types. Every service we deliver is backed by technical excellence, precision, and a steadfast commitment to safety.

At General Lee Aviation, we don’t just teach people to fly — we develop confident, capable aviators who embody professionalism, sound judgment, and respect for the skies.
