FlightAware sues Kalshi over flight data use

• FlightAware filed a lawsuit against Kalshi over the use of flight cancellation and delay data.
• The dispute centres on FlightAware’s claims that Kalshi used its data without permission.
• The case could affect how flight data is used in prediction markets.

FlightAware has sued Kalshi, claiming the prediction market platform used its flight delay and cancellation data without permission.

The lawsuit focuses on flight-related contracts that allow users to bet on whether flights will be delayed or cancelled.

FlightAware claims Kalshi copied and used its proprietary flight data to operate those markets.

The lawsuit alleges that Kalshi continued using the data despite FlightAware’s objections and licensing requirements.

The case could affect how data providers and prediction market platforms use commercial flight information.

Kalshi operates markets that allow users to trade on the outcome of real-world events, including transportation disruptions.

FlightAware provides flight tracking and aviation data services that are used by airlines, airports, businesses, and travellers worldwide.
