Route-specific score for AUS–IAH
United Airlines has a fleet coverage of 52.2% for Starlink-equipped aircraft, indicating a moderate rollout stage. However, there are zero confirmed Starlink observations on the AUS -> IAH route, which anchors the probability to the empirical observation rate of 0.0%. Recent news confirms Starlink installations and testing on United's mainline fleet, but these are focused on other routes such as EWR to LAS and initial Boeing 737-800 retrofits, with no specific mention of AUS -> IAH. Community sightings confirm regional fleet rollout completion but do not reference this mainline route. Given the fleet coverage and rollout status, the probability is anchored at the fleet coverage level (0.52) but tempered by the lack of direct route observations and specific news, resulting in a 'possible' confidence tier and medium confidence in the estimate.
