United Airlines has installed Starlink on over 53% of its fleet, with confirmed rollout on 300+ regional aircraft and plans to equip over 800 planes by end of 2026. However, there are zero direct observations of Starlink on the SHV->DFW route, and recent news confirms Starlink presence mainly on regional and select mainline routes like EWR->LAS and the first 737-800 retrofit. Given the fleet coverage and rollout status, the probability is anchored near the empirical observation rate of 0.0%, but increased moderately due to strong fleet coverage and rollout news. The lack of direct sightings on this route and the medium confidence in perplexity context limit the probability from being higher.
