Key Takeaways:

  • The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Flytenow's appeal, upholding the FAA's ban on private pilots publicly advertising for shared-expense flights.
  • Flytenow, a flight-sharing website, was shut down in 2015 after a court ruled its service violated FAA regulations, which the company argues are inconsistent with traditional expense-sharing methods.
  • Despite the legal setback, Flytenow plans to continue advocating for legislative action in Congress to overturn the FAA's restrictions on online flight sharing.
