Dear National Air Traffic Services,

I understand that you are not subject to FoI legislation but hope you will
feel able to respond to request for information about the BVLOS Operations
Forum that NATS organised.

May I ask which organisations, in particular, government organisations,
were represented (I do not need personal names or details) and whether
there was any report or action plan arising out of the event. If so, may I
have a copy?

Yours faithfully,

Chris Cole

Dear Mr Cole
 
Thank you for your enquiry, and please accept my apologies for the tardy
response.
 
The members of the BVLOS Operations Forum are as follows:
 
Apian
ARPAS-UK
Callen-Lenz
Blue Bear Systems
Flylogix
Maritime & Coastguard Agency
Network Rail
Sees.ai
Skyports
Windracers
 
There was no report or action plan arising out of the previous meeting, as
the meetings will generally be an opportunity for the operators to learn
about each other's operations, share lessons learned, and work together on
any issues that might require industry collaboration. 
 
As the Forum is a new entity many of these things have not yet happened,
but as they do we will publish any relevant materials on our website.  
 
I hope this is helpful, and apologies again for the lengthy response
time. 
 
Kind regards,

Alex
Community Relations Team
