Route-specific score for AUS–IAD
United Airlines has a very high fleet coverage ratio of 95.6% with Starlink fully deployed across its fleet. Despite zero direct observations on the AUS->IAD route, the critical scoring rule mandates a minimum probability equal to the fleet coverage for fully deployed airlines with coverage above 50%. Recent high-confidence news confirms Starlink installation on mainline aircraft including Boeing 737-800s and inaugural flights with Starlink on major routes. Community sightings confirm completion of rollout on regional fleets. Given the high fleet coverage and strong rollout status, the probability is anchored at 0.956 despite no direct route observations, reflecting near-guaranteed availability on this route.
