A Faraday cage does not need to be grounded, if that's what you mean. Cars and airplanes are both excellent Faraday cages.
However, neither would protect against a powerful EMP discharge, as the windows are far larger than the wavelength of the resulting radiation.
The windows could be shielded of course, but I'm unsure whether or not this is standard practice in aircraft (today, not to mention 150 years into the future).
