Question

A little off-subject, but I too am interested in the background/qualifications of Peter Harbison, seeing that he is so often quoted in the media as an expert on the aviation scene.

A quick look at the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation website (www.centreforaviation.com) failed to find out much about this outfit, except for the following:

"About us
The Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation is a specialist aviation and tourism consultancy, providing advisory services in aviation strategy, policy, development and management. The Centre’s Head Office is in Sydney, with Regional Offices in Singapore & New Delhi.

The Centre also provides a comprehensive aviation information service, with a range of daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly and annual reports. The Centre provides executive education services to industry and government personnel and holds regular Conferences, Symposiums and Aviation Leaders’ Forums.

We bring unparalleled knowledge of the Asia Pacific region through our consultant team, research analysts, and our international network of associate consultants and affiliates."

Fairly vague on what qualifications and experience allow them to bring forth this "unparalleled knowledge" to the aviation scene. As someone who is interested in the workings of the media, would be keen to hear from anyone else who knows more.
