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 specific routes and a medium confidence perplexity status. However, there are no direct observations of Starlink on the PLS->IAD route, and community sightings focus on regional routes rather than this mainline route. Given the lack of route-specific observations, the probability is anchored at the fleet coverage ratio of 0.522, reflecting the airline's overall rollout status but acknowledging uncertainty for this specific route.
