Hi N.S,

We are writing to update you on your OIA request regarding the above flight data.

We are currently working through your request and consultation is required. We are therefore extending the time to make decision on your request to 14 June 2024.

We will endeavour to respond to you sooner, with 14 June 2024 being the latest date for a decision. This extension is made under section 15A(1)(b), as consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/ or freephone 0800 802 602.

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you.
