Korean Air operates flight KE259 between Seoul (ICN) and Shanghai (Pudong) (PVG). This route is typically operated by a 747-8. Based on Korean Air's current Starlink rollout — 1 of 160 aircraft equipped (1% of the fleet) — we estimate a 0% probability that this specific flight is equipped with Starlink satellite WiFi.
No route-specific aircraft evidence needed: B748 is an operator-wide claim covering every B748 aircraft in the fleet (0.0%).

Score is based on Korean Air's fleet-wide coverage: 1 of 160 aircraft are Starlink-equipped (1% fleet ratio). No aircraft-type-specific rollout data is recorded for this route, so the score reflects the fleet-wide average.
Starlink coverage on this route is limited. Korean Air has started its Starlink rollout, but this route or aircraft type may not yet be equipped — the probability will rise as more aircraft are confirmed.

Korean Air uses Starlink satellite WiFi on equipped aircraft. Flight KE259 operates ICN to PVG. Our Starlink probability score for this flight is 0%, based on Korean Air's fleet rollout data and confirmed tail numbers.
The most reliable method is to check your specific tail number after check-in — your boarding pass or the Korean Air app may show the aircraft registration. You can then search that tail number on StarlinkFlights.com. Alternatively, our probability score for flight KE259 is 0% based on current fleet data.
The prediction for KE259 is based on the aircraft actually observed or claimed to operate this route, not a generic fleet-wide guess. No route-specific aircraft evidence needed: B748 is an operator-wide claim covering every B748 aircraft in the fleet (0.0%). 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.
