United Airlines has a fleet coverage of 53.4% with Starlink installed, primarily on regional aircraft and some mainline aircraft starting late 2025. However, there are no direct observations of Starlink on the IAD->GIG route, and this route is likely served by mainline aircraft, which have only recently begun receiving Starlink. Recent news confirms initial mainline installations and inaugural flights with Starlink, but no specific evidence for this route. Given the lack of direct observations and the fleet coverage, the probability is anchored near the fleet coverage but slightly reduced to reflect uncertainty and no route-specific sightings.
