Hi Liam,

 

You are correct that being a NZ Citizen satisfies the requirements of
section 12 of the Act, the CAA is requesting evidence of this so it is
satisfied that you are eligible to make the requests.

Please refer to the paragraph about online requests at page 10 of the
following link:
[1]http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/syste....

I note that these are your first two FYI requests.

airline/operator

 

Dear Tom,

 

As originally stated in my request, I am a New Zealand Citizen at the time
of making this request which is enough to satisfy the requirements of
Section 12 of the Act:

 

Any person, being—

(a) a New Zealand citizen; or

(b) a permanent resident of New Zealand; or

(c) a person who is in New Zealand; or

(d) a body corporate which is incorporated in New Zealand; or

(e) a body corporate which is incorporated outside New Zealand but which
has a place of business in New Zealand,— may request a department or
Minister of the Crown or organisation to make available to him or it any
specified official information.

 

If you intend to decline the OIA on this basis, please provide the
relevant section of the Act which enables you to do so. I note that
Section 18 would not generally provide for this.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Liam

Dear Liam (Liam <[1][FOI #7973 email]>)

 

The following response is provided under the Official Information Act 1982

 

Originair have never held an Air Operator Certificate (as distinct from
Origin Pacific, which was a fairly longstanding regional airline).
Therefore they have not been the subject of a safety investigation.

 

Originair are a ticketing/handling agent.  They currently contract with
Air2there who provide an airline service and previously had a similar
relationship with Airfreight NZ.

18/OIR/276

Dear Liam

Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) Request

I refer to your email of 15 June 2018 requesting information from the
Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) concerning the investigation into
Airfreight NZ whilst they conducted CAA Rules Part 125 Air Transport
operations under the trading name ‘OriginAir’.

Summary of investigation

In early 2016 the CAA conducted an audit of Air Freight NZ Ltd and their
part 125 Air Transport operation operating under the trading name
‘OriginAir’. Concerns with the arrangement between OriginAir and Air
Freight were identified and the Director of Civil Aviation exercised
administrative powers to rectify the situation in the interests of safety
and compliance with aviation legislation. The matter is now closed.

The CAA is withholding all other information in scope of your request for
the following reasons:

·       To protect the privacy of natural persons, in accordance with
section 9(2)(a) of the Act;

·       To protect information that if it were to be made available would
unreasonably prejudice the commercial position who is the subject of the
information, in accordance with section 9(2)(b)(ii) of the Act;

·       To protect information which is subject to an obligation of
confidence and making the information available would be likely to
prejudice the future supply of similar information, in accordance with
section 9(2)(ba)(ii) of the Act.

You have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman to seek an
investigation and review of our decision. The Ombudsman’s contact details
are:

Address:          The Ombudsman

                        Office of the Ombudsmen

                        PO Box 10152
