Earl Weber was an officer in the British military who worked at Nang Tao Airport in Shanghai, not far from Club Obi Wan.
He managed to secure three seats for Indiana Jones, Short Round, and Willie Scott on a plane, but, on such short notice, he could only get them seats on a plane that was carrying live poultry, which Weber considered only a slight inconvenience. This plane was actually part of Lao Che Air Freight, owned by Jones' pursuer, Lao Che, and would soon crash in a mountainous area of India in an attempt to kill Indy and his comrades.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Weber was played by Dan Aykroyd, who had earlier appeared in Steven Spielberg's 1941.
His first name is debatable as it appears as Art in the DVD subtitles
