United Airlines is actively rolling out Starlink with about 52.2% fleet coverage, supported by multiple high-confidence news reports confirming initial Starlink flights on mainline aircraft and regional fleet completion. However, there are no direct observations of Starlink on the MSY->IAD route, and no community sightings specific to this route. Given the fleet coverage and rollout status, the probability is anchored at the fleet coverage ratio of 0.522, with no upward adjustment due to lack of route-specific observations. This results in a conservative estimate reflecting likely but unconfirmed presence on this route.
