European court aide rules Uber is a transport company - BBC News

Uber is a transport firm that requires a licence to operate, a senior member of European Union's top court has said.
I wonder if this ruling will have an impact on wingly and other flight sharing sites. Would wingly want to continue if they have to have an AOC to operate? At best they would have to take vigorous action to show that none of the flights advertised could be considered as transportation, and even that might not be enough.

Still, it's not definitive yet, although it's hard to see any court going against the decision.
