Peter Magill
Peter spent eleven years in the Royal Air Force flying the Blackburn Beverly, Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer and Bristol Britannia until leaving in 1975 to fly for IAS Cargo, Air Europe, Inter European Airways, Airtours International, GoFly, easyJet and flyGlobespan on the DC8, Boeing 737 classic and NG, Boeing 757 and the Airbus 320 family. While he amassed 20,000 hours, he enjoyed a varied background in airline management ranging from a Flight Safety Officer to deputy to the Director Flight Operations.
In 2007 he was enticed to develop his consultancy full time with a contract in Saudi Arabia, which led to his converting a private operation in Bahrain to a JAR-style AOC and gave him time to build a large portfolio of Bermudan registered operators. Most of Aviation Info Tech’s clients are very private and AIT enjoys a close working relationship with them.
Peter keeps his JAR ATPL licence current on the Boeing 737 300-900. AIT enjoys the support of first-rate consultants who specialise in Flight Planning, Aircraft Performance, Special Rules Airspace navigation, Carbon Emission Trading, Quality and Safety Management System, Flight Safety, FOQA, Aviation Security, Pilot Training, Cabin Crew, Training, Maintenance, Ground Operations, Crewing and Rostering and Airline Management.
Aviation Info Tech is very pleased to be working so closely with Carr Aviation Limited
