Route-specific score for BUF–IAD
United Airlines has installed Starlink on approximately 36.7% of its fleet, with rollout status 'installed' and medium confidence from Perplexity. Although there are zero confirmed Starlink observations on the BUF->IAD route, the critical scoring rule for 'installed' airlines with fleet coverage below 50% but above 30% treats the fleet ratio as a floor. Recent news confirms active Starlink deployment on United's mainline and regional fleets, including inaugural flights with Starlink WiFi, supporting a baseline probability equal to fleet coverage. No direct route observations limit upward adjustment, so the probability is anchored at the fleet ratio of 0.367 with a 'likely' confidence tier.
