Is it a copyright violation to copy the data from a screen full of data on a website?
Well it seems to me if it is displayed on a website then you can see it. Therefore you could write the info down and then use. So to copy it and use it is almost the same as writing it down and using it.
I'm saying use it, Not sell it.

You can also see a book in a store, or watch TV, still it is all still copyrighted. Why would this be different?
For something like flight data I'd expect there to be some sort of public announcement from the airport concerned, which is probably what that website is using as its primary source.

Not even close! The data is collected from the aircraft transponders using automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) receivers. Flightradar24 has a network of more than 20,000 ADS-B receivers around the world that receive flight information from aircraft with ADS-B transponders and send this information to their servers.
The information is copyrighted. Use of it for other than transitory viewing is forbidden by their licence. The original poster needs to ask their permission unless there is some limited exception in the relevant Swedish law. IAAL.
You are mixing two different things here.
Flight data for aircraft in flight and Schedules. These are two different things and the data comes from two sources.
Aircraft in flight comes from ADS-B system while schedules are supplied by each carrier to the airport. ADS-B systems can't predict what AAL or DAL is going to fly and where, Only where the aircraft is currently under certain conditions. If the aircraft has no power ADS-B can't see it.
Forget the niceties of dissecting various people's views on the possible legality or illegality of what is being proposed and simply ask Flightrader24 for permission to use the data in whatever way is intended.
