Route-specific score for AUS–IAD
United Airlines has a fleet coverage of 53.4% with Starlink installed on over 300 regional aircraft and plans to exceed 800 equipped planes soon. However, there are zero direct observations of Starlink on the AUS->IAD route, and recent news confirms Starlink primarily on regional and select mainline routes like EWR->LAS and the first 737-800 retrofit. Given the lack of route-specific sightings and the fleet coverage, the probability is anchored near the fleet ratio but slightly discounted to 0.40 to reflect no direct route observations and moderate news evidence.
