United Airlines is actively rolling out Starlink with about 52.2% fleet coverage, supported by multiple recent high-confidence news reports confirming Starlink installations and inaugural flights on mainline aircraft. However, there are no direct observations of Starlink on the IAD-BDL route, and community sightings mainly reference regional routes. Given the lack of route-specific observations, the probability is anchored to the fleet coverage ratio of 52.2%, reflecting a moderate likelihood but not exceeding this by more than 0.10 due to absence of direct route evidence.
