Route-specific score for DCA–MCI
Southwest Airlines currently has a fleet coverage of 86.2% planned but has not yet equipped any aircraft with Starlink as of May 2026, with rollout starting in summer 2026. There are zero confirmed Starlink observations on the DCA->MCI route and no recent news or community sightings. Given the rollout status is 'rolling_out' and fleet coverage is high, the probability is anchored conservatively near zero but slightly above zero to reflect imminent rollout plans without current equipment.
