The Federal Aviation Administration has enacted a new rule signed into law last year that allows owners of private jets to request their names and addresses be kept private. That means, according to the FAA, that the ownership information would not be made available on its websites for public consumption.
An electronic request form has been made available for owners to do so. The new rule appears to be at least in part a response to social media accounts that post air travel information about celebrities including Elon Musk and Taylor Swift.
As reported by The Verge, however, that may not thwart those who run tracking sites, who say they rely on other sources of information for their reports, not just FAA records.
