Peter's aviation career began at British Caledonian Airways (BCal), where he started as a load controller before progressing into training, station management, and country management roles around West Africa and the Middle East. His final role at BCal involved working on an automated weight and balance system developed by EDS in Los Angeles, still in use today as SabreSonic PSS.

He then joined Amadeus, initially managing global support teams and later moving into product management with a focus on regulatory and government interfaces.

Peter has witnessed significant changes and developments throughout his extensive tenure. These include the advent of automation, replacing manually written boarding passes, the introduction of fees for previously included services like seat reservations and meals, and increased security measures resulting in longer queues due to terrorism and human trafficking concerns.
