Civil Aviation Authority

The complainant made a request for a list and data of all reportable MOR's involving unidentified flying objects in UK airspace since 2013 and reported by air traffic services. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) refused to confirm or deny whether it holds the requested information under section 44(2) by virtue of section 44(1)(a) FOIA. The Commissioner considers that the CAA was incorrect to refuse to confirm or deny whether the requested information is held under Section 44(2) by virtue of section 44(1)(a) FOIA. The Commissioner requires the public authority to confirm or deny whether it holds information within the scope of the request. If the CAA holds information it must either disclose it, or issue a refusal notice that complies with section 17 of the FOIA.

FOI 44: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 192563
