FlightAware Sues Kalshi Over Flight Cancellation Betting Data
Summary
FlightAware filed a trademark infringement and unfair competition lawsuit against Kalshi in New York federal court, alleging the prediction market platform used its data and name without authorization to offer event contracts on flight cancellations. The suit claims Kalshi ignored repeated demands to stop, and that the markets have drawn widespread outrage over potential manipulation and threats to public safety. This adds to a growing list of legal challenges for Kalshi, following recent state lawsuits and regulatory actions over its event contracts. The case could further complicate Kalshi's expansion into new betting categories and intensify scrutiny from regulators and the public.
