United Airlines has a very high fleet coverage ratio of 95.6% with Starlink fully deployed across its fleet. Although there are zero direct observations of Starlink on the ELP->ORD route, the critical scoring rule for fully deployed airlines with fleet coverage above 50% mandates using the fleet ratio as a minimum probability. Recent news confirms active Starlink installation on mainline aircraft and inaugural flights with Starlink WiFi, supporting high confidence in widespread availability. Community sightings confirm completion of rollout on regional fleets, further reinforcing the high probability. The lack of route-specific observations is likely due to incomplete flight tracking data rather than absence of Starlink equipment.
