Supreme Court Declines to Hear Flytenow’s Case Against the FAA
Key Takeaways:
- The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear flight-sharing website Flytenow's appeal, upholding a prior ruling that its service violates FAA regulations.
- FAA regulations prohibit private pilots from publicly advertising for shared flights in exchange for expenses, which Flytenow argues is comparable to long-standing private sharing methods.
- Despite the legal defeat, Flytenow plans to continue advocating for legislative changes in Congress to overturn the FAA's ban on online flight sharing.
