Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Daily departures offer a view of how much Starlink-equipped capacity is operating in United’s network, not simply how many aircraft have been modified.
  • United’s plan to accelerate the rollout signals a faster deployment priority, but the report provides no schedule or scale against which to assess it.
