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 case, upholding previous rulings that its service violates FAA regulations prohibiting private pilots from advertising for shared flight expenses.
- Flytenow argues its online platform is a private method, similar to traditional word-of-mouth or bulletin boards, for pilots to find passengers with common destinations.
- Despite the legal setback, Flytenow plans to continue its efforts through legislation, working with Congress to draft bills that would authorize online flight ridesharing.
