FlightAware Sues Kalshi, Claims Cancellation Betting Markets Could Incentivize Flight Interference

FlightAware sued Kalshi in SDNY on August 11, alleging unauthorized use of FlightAware's data and trademarks for flight-cancellation prediction markets. Beyond trademark and data-misappropriation claims, FlightAware argues the markets could create financial incentives to interfere with flights — a safety argument unprecedented in prediction-market litigation. FlightAware is seeking a jury trial.
