United Airlines has installed Starlink on approximately 53.4% of its fleet, with over 300 regional aircraft equipped and plans to reach over 800 by end of 2026. However, there are no direct observations of Starlink on the ORD->JST route, and recent news highlights initial mainline deployments primarily on other routes such as EWR->LAS. Given the fleet coverage and rollout status, the probability is anchored near the fleet coverage but slightly discounted due to zero direct observations and no specific route mentions. The probability is set conservatively at 0.40, below the fleet coverage of 0.534, reflecting medium confidence from multiple evidence sources.
