Flight Aware, a flight tracking platform, has filed a lawsuit against Kalshi, a prediction market company. Flight Aware alleges that Kalshi is using its data without permission to allow users to bet on flight cancellations, which could incentivize unsafe tactics and disrupt air travel.
“Flight Aware says such bets could incentivize unsafe tactics to impact cancellations and create the potential for massive disruption of air travel.”
“Flight Aware claimed in the suit that it had sent CalShe cease and desist letters to no avail.”
