Score is based on airBaltic's fleet-wide coverage: 31 of 55 aircraft are Starlink-equipped (56% fleet ratio). No aircraft-type-specific rollout data is recorded for this route, so the score reflects the fleet-wide average.
This is a moderate-probability route. airBaltic is actively rolling out Starlink — 56% of the fleet is equipped so far — but not every aircraft operating this route is confirmed yet, so coverage on any given departure is not guaranteed.

The prediction for BT9801 is based on the aircraft actually observed or claimed to operate this route, not a generic fleet-wide guess. No aircraft observed on this route. Score reflects the fleet-wide rate for the recorded aircraft type BCS3: 57.4%. A confirmed, dated passenger sighting for this specific flight can override this when one exists.
No prediction can guarantee a specific aircraft. Airlines perform last-minute equipment swaps for maintenance, operational needs, or schedule changes — meaning a Starlink-equipped tail can be replaced by a non-equipped one on the day. A score of 80% or above means historical data strongly favours Starlink on this flight, but it is not a guarantee. For the most reliable information, check the airline's gate display or app on the day of departure.
