The FAA is implementing a new process aimed at protecting the privacy of private jet owners by withholding registration details upon request. Jack Sweeney, known for tracking celebrity flights, argues that this won't significantly affect trackers, as they usually rely on independent research and media sources instead of the FAA's database. The initiative is part of the Biden-era FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, aimed at addressing privacy concerns raised by the public tracking of private jets owned by celebrities.
Sweeney noted that tracking jet ownership often requires independent research rather than relying solely on the FAA database, which doesn't impact experienced trackers like him.
The FAA’s new privacy regulations were initiated in response to rising concerns regarding the public tracking of private jet flights, especially among high-profile individuals.
