The US Federal Aviation Administration last week enacted a rule, signed into law last year, that lets owners of private jets request that their names and addresses be kept private. According to the FAA, this means ownership information wouldn't be made available on its websites for public viewing. An electronic request form has been made available for owners to use.

The $2.4 billion contract was awarded to Verizon in 2023, according to the P
