Dear Mr Richards

An initial review of the documents captured by your request has identified names belonging to external third parties. Under section 27 of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) Airservices is required to consult with these third parties before making a decision regarding the release of the documents. In accordance with subsection 15(6) of the FOI Act, the period for processing your FOI request will be extended by 30 days if Airservices was to consult these third parties. I am writing to you now to seek your view as to whether you consider the names of these third parties relevant to your FOI request. If you believe these name are not relevant I am able to redact these names as irrelevant to the request and I will not have to consult with these third parties.

In addition, could you please confirm whether you require the details of current and former Airservices employees (names, signatures, positions and contact details) to be captured in your Freedom of Information request; or whether you would like that information to be considered irrelevant to your request.

Kind regards

Dear Shan

Any individuals names can be redacted, but require names of companies etc.

The details of former and current employees, can be redacted also, however their positions can remain as I don't believe that would be classed as personal information? And the positions are relevant to the request.

Yours sincerely,

Phil Richards

Dear Shan

I wish to contend the charges in full on the grounds of public interest, there is a great interest within the public that public money is being used correctly. I understand that ASA is self funded in a sense, however is the general public that purchases tickets to fly and end result is that part of the ticket purchase is to cover the cost of the airline using Airservices services, in the case that Airservices is overspending and could lead to increased prices for services over the next few years leading to increased flight costs that airlines will have to pass onto the passengers, the tax payers.

Yours sincerely,

Phil Richards
