Aero Project Consultants (APC) provides
advice to airlines, small operators, government agencies, regulatory authorities
and companies that require unique aviation solutions, in all aspects of the
aviation industry.
APC's methodologies are based on
those commercial and financial imperatives that drive all businesses; the end
results of our endeavours are therefore strongly focussed on maximising our
clients' productivity. Concurrently however, we are of the firm belief that
a good safety culture in aviation is one which ultimately achieves the most
success, and safety is high on our list of priorities. APC combines operational,
managerial, and financial experience to provide real-world practical solutions
to problems which can often be perceived as complex, and sometimes even overwhelming.
Let us know what your problems
are - we can probably help.
As aviation consultants, APC's people
come from technically, and managerially diverse areas.

Steve Payne
With a degree
in Science from Curtin University of Technology, Steve Payne formed
a partnership with Theo in late 1990. From rudimentary beginnings, with no
other aeronautical experience than a Private Pilot's License, Steve's
research and IT background slowly morphed into a career in aviation.
Steve now holds a Masters Degree in Aviation Transportation Management
(ATM) from Swinburne University in Melbourne, in the areas of aviation
human resources, aircraft economic performance, and aircraft procurement and acquisition. Having worked
for 10 years in his own IT business, and more recently, with a corporate jet charter business, Steve brings a complementary range
of skills to APC, including accounting and financial modelling, fleet
financing and leasing, and FBO/ground handling operations management.
