Route-specific score for MDW–TUS
Southwest Airlines is currently in a rolling_out status with a high fleet coverage ratio of 86.2%, but no aircraft are yet equipped with Starlink as of the latest data. There are zero observed flights with Starlink on the MDW->TUS route, and no recent news or community sightings to suggest earlier deployment on this route. Given the rollout status and high fleet coverage, the probability is anchored conservatively at 0.30, reflecting the announced rollout beginning summer 2026 and expected fleet upgrades, but not exceeding the empirical observation rate of zero by more than 0.10 without supporting evidence.
