AI Probability Analysis
Route-specific score for AUS–MSP
Southwest Airlines is currently in a rolling_out status with a high fleet coverage ratio of 86.2%, which normally would imply a high probability on routes. However, perplexity-verified context and recent news confirm that as of mid-2026, Southwest has not yet equipped any aircraft with Starlink, and no observations or sightings exist on the AUS->MSP route. Given the rollout is planned for summer 2026 and no confirmed installations exist, the probability is anchored conservatively below fleet coverage but above zero to reflect imminent rollout and high fleet coverage. The score is set at 0.30, treating fleet coverage as a floor for rolling_out airlines with >30% coverage, but adjusted downward due to zero observations and no confirmed equipment yet.
