United Airlines has installed Starlink on over 300 regional aircraft and is rolling out to reach over 800 planes soon, representing a fleet coverage of 53.4%. However, there are no direct observations of Starlink on the PNS->IAH route, and the route observation ratio is 0%. Recent news confirms Starlink is active on mainline United flights but primarily on other routes such as EWR->LAS. Given the fleet coverage and rollout status, the probability is anchored near the empirical observation rate (0%) plus a conservative uplift due to rollout progress and news, capped well below fleet coverage. This results in a moderate probability of 0.37, reflecting possible but unconfirmed presence on this route.
