Number of arriving aircraft using Runway 12 and Runway 30 Hobart International Airport for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023
Dear Airservices Australia,
I'm seeking a daily breakdown of passenger jets landing at Hobart International Airport using Runway 12, Runway 30 RNAV, and Runway 30 RNP-AR from 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2023.
Please provide an Excel spreadsheet with:
'YYYY-MM-DD': Date of each day.
'RWAY12', 'RWAY30RNP-AR', 'RWAY30RNAV': Daily aircraft total per runway.
The PIR Report's Figure 6 lacks detail and only covers the pandemic period. I'm looking for more recent, detailed data.
Yours faithfully,
Dr Andrew Terhorst

Good afternoon Andrew
I understand that you are seeking for Airservices to create a new document containing a breakdown of passenger flights with the parameters specified in your request.
This information is available via a Tailored Data Request where you may access this data. As this type of access is subject to a fee, the document sought is not able to be requested via a Freedom of Information request.
You can make a tailored data request at through our webpage here: https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/ind...

Dear MBX FOI,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing in response to your previous communication in which you directed me to submit a Tailored Data Request for accessing information pertaining to passenger flights along a specific route.
I must express my dismay upon learning about the cost involved in obtaining this data. The fee of $960, in my opinion, is disproportionately high for accessing what seems to be a basic and integral part of the transparency that a public service organization like Airservices Australia should naturally offer.
The data I seek pertains directly to the flight path that was unilaterally decided to be directed over my residential area by Airservices Australia. It is reasonable, I believe, for any individual affected by such a decision to have access to the related data without incurring such a substantial financial burden.
While I understand that there may be costs involved in preparing customized data, it seems essential to strike a balance between these costs and the duty of transparency, especially in instances like this where the requested information is of significant personal and public interest.
Hence, I kindly request that you reconsider your position and provide an alternative solution. It is important to understand the frequency and timings of the aircraft movements for the residents living under these flight paths. As such, I believe this information should be readily accessible without imposing prohibitive costs.
Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Terhorst
