This is probably the reason behind the ruling, if I had to guess. I believe that flying is considered to be passing over spaces instead of moving into them in one of the rulebooks, but I might be misremembering.

I do agree that the ruling is confusing, though. I've always played with flying figures being affected by Swirling Vortex just like everything else.

That's exactly correct. I do agree that it's a confusing corner case, though, and that it should have just been stated on the card.

If you're looking for the authority on the ruling, it came straight from the designers when they released the card. If you do some digging you could probably find the old front page announcement in the blogs and see it there.

EDIT - Found the post, it's here, with the exact quote being "While flying figures can fly over its SWIRLING VORTEX, they will feel the wrath of its AIR MASTERY power." In the comments there is a little more clarification, but even there you can see some questions showing it wasn't very intuitive.
