Flytenow Takes FAA to Court over Ride-sharing Program
Lawsuit seeks to overturn interpretation that ride-sharing program constitutes commercial activity.

Web-based Flytenow is suing the FAA for essentially halting its general aviation flight-sharing program. The Goldwater Institute filed the lawsuit January 5 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on behalf of Flytenow, asserting that the FAA is “stifling innovation” and preventing pilots from using the Internet to communicate travel plans.
