Route-specific score for PHL–IAH
United Airlines has a fleet coverage of approximately 52.2% with Starlink equipped aircraft, indicating a moderate baseline probability for Starlink availability on any given route. However, there are zero confirmed Starlink observations on the PHL -> IAH route, so empirical data does not support a high probability here. Recent news confirms rollout progress and initial flights with Starlink on other routes (EWR->LAS and Boeing 737-800 media flight), but no specific mention of PHL->IAH. Community sightings confirm regional fleet rollout but do not specify this route. Given the lack of direct route observations and only indirect evidence from fleet and news, the probability is anchored at the fleet coverage ratio of 0.52, reflecting the airline-wide rollout status but no route-specific confirmation. The confidence is medium due to moderate fleet coverage and indirect evidence.
