Good afternoon Rob,
Please see attached decision letter and document released regarding your request.
As discussed, you are also seeking access to information regarding the following dates:
- the date Hoch Air Pty Ltd applied for an initial AOC; and
- the date the AOC was issued to Hoch Air Pty Ltd by CASA.
As such, I do not recognise this part of your request as a request under the Freedom of Information Act as you are seeking information rather than documents.
However, in order to assist you further, I advise that Hoch Air Pty Ltd initially applied for an AOC on 25 August 2015, and the AOC was granted by CASA on 12 January 2016.
Thanks again.
Regards
David Gobbitt
