FlightAware Withdraws Kalshi Lawsuit Over Flight Data Usage

FlightAware dropped its lawsuit against Kalshi just one day after filing, accusing the platform of unauthorized data use. The move leaves open the possibility of future legal action amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny.

Woofun AI reports that FlightAware has withdrawn its legal action against prediction market platform Kalshi. The suit was filed only one day prior to its dismissal, alleging that Kalshi utilized FlightAware's flight data and trademarks without consent to facilitate betting on flight cancellations.

This withdrawal does not preclude FlightAware from initiating further litigation. The dispute emerged as Kalshi's aviation contracts faced social media scrutiny regarding potential manipulation of flight incentive mechanisms, alongside low retail investor engagement. Neither entity has issued public statements. The case centered on the legality of using third-party data and trademarks without commercial agreements, while Kalshi continues to face separate regulatory challenges across multiple states.
