Transport Committee advisor

Parliament is looking for a special aviation advisor for its Transport Select Committee. 

An important condition is quick accessibility to London but clearly a very deep knowledge of all the nuances and aspects of commercial aviation is necessary.  The requirements include having a profound understanding of public policy issues relating to aviation and good contacts with the main players in the industry. 

Applicants should be prepared to provide expert advice to committee members on aviation matters on request, both in writing and in oral presentations.  Advice may be requested generally (for example, to help explain the economic regulation of airports) or in relation to a specific committee inquiry (eg, to read and comment on written evidence, suggest witnesses for oral evidence and help with the preparation of briefing notes and draft reports).

The ever increasing complexity of air travel makes the appointment of the right person difficult as there is a need to know the airport background, business jets, airlines, and the European/EU/EASA fundamentals.  A business rather than academic background would seem more plausible. www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-archive/transport-committee
