United Airlines has installed Starlink on over 300 regional aircraft and is rolling out to more, targeting over 800 planes by end of 2026, representing about 53.4% fleet coverage. However, there are zero confirmed Starlink observations on the MDT->IAD route, and this route is not specifically mentioned in recent news or community sightings. Recent news confirms mainline Starlink flights started only recently on select routes (e.g., EWR->LAS). Given the fleet coverage and rollout status, some aircraft on this route may have Starlink, but empirical observation is zero, so probability is anchored conservatively below fleet coverage, at 0.40. Confidence is medium due to solid fleet data but lack of route-specific observations.
