Flight Tracking Firm Drops Lawsuit Against Kalshi

Flight tracking company FlightAware has voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against prediction market platform Kalshi. The lawsuit, filed earlier this week, alleged that Kalshi was improperly using flight data to run a gambling market. This abrupt withdrawal suggests a potential resolution between the two companies.

Kalshi has since updated its platform's outcome verification. Previously stating outcomes were verified by FlightAware, it now indicates verification from a "Primary Source Agency." The company also added a disclaimer clarifying no endorsement or affiliation with the agency.

This legal dispute occurred while Kalshi faces separate scrutiny. New York state sued the company in July 2026, alleging it operates an illegal gambling operation. The outcome of that case could significantly impact the legal perception of prediction market platforms.
