Summary
FlightAware filed a lawsuit against Kalshi in New York federal court, alleging unauthorized use of its data and trademarks for flight-cancellation prediction markets. The suit claims Kalshi identified FlightAware as the settlement source without permission, potentially misleading users. FlightAware seeks unspecified damages and an injunction to stop the use. This adds to Kalshi's mounting legal challenges, following a New York state lawsuit in July and ongoing CFTC scrutiny. The litigation could disrupt Kalshi's flight-cancellation product and raises risks ahead of its reported IPO exploration at a $40 billion valuation.
