WiFi Odds
How the numbers work

See the sources and method behind each number.

WiFi Odds distinguishes aircraft in service, announced rollouts, and unpublished fleet counts. Use Next-Gen to estimate your chance of Starlink or Amazon Leo. Use Streaming score to compare WiFi across an airline’s full fleet.

Method effective 28 Jul 2026
01 / Two questions

Next-Gen and Streaming answer different questions.

Next-Gen estimates your chance of boarding an aircraft with Starlink or Amazon Leo. Streaming score compares WiFi across the full published fleet.

PRIMARY · DEFAULT SORT

Your chance of Starlink or Amazon Leo

This fleet probability applies before the airline assigns an aircraft. It does not promise a specific seat, route, or departure.

Next-Gen
PRIMARY · WHOLE FLEET

WiFi quality across the fleet

Streaming score is a 0–100 rating across the whole published fleet. It weights each fitted system by fleet share, observed quality, and whether passengers can use it free.

Streaming
02 / Unpublished aircraft counts

Keep unpublished counts unknown. Do not record them as 0%.

We publish 0% only when an airline reports its fleet size and confirms that no next-gen aircraft are flying.

Unpublished counts and confirmed 0% are different. Next-gen odds · airline level
Air France AF
Unpublished

Starlink is flying, but Air France has not published a current equipped-aircraft count.

Reported · Air France public announcements · Jul 2026
SAS SK
Unpublished

Starlink is flying, but SAS has not published a confirmed current count.

Reported · SAS public announcements · Jul 2026
American AA
0%

American has a published current fleet and no next-gen aircraft flying today. Its signed Starlink rollout begins later.

Reported · American and Runway Girl Network · 26 May 2026
Unpublished rows stay neutral and unranked.

We exclude them from the next-gen denominator and do not rank them as zeros. A row becomes numeric after the airline publishes the missing count.

03 / Confirmed coverage

We publish confirmed coverage for incomplete fleet data.

Some fleets have a confirmed share with streaming-capable WiFi and no published system for the remaining aircraft. We label that evidence Confirmed streaming coverage and keep it separate from Streaming score.

The greater-than-or-equal sign means the share may rise when the airline publishes more fleet detail. The confirmed share cannot fall below the sourced minimum.

Read “≥” as: at least this much is confirmed. The rest is unreported, not absent.
04 / Source labels

Each figure carries a source label.

We label each figure by source type: measured performance, a public fleet statement, or a vendor specification.

Measured

A passenger or tracker recorded it.

A speed test, latency trace, flight record, or other result came from service during a flight. We include the sample and date because one session cannot represent a fleet.

Performance evidence · source and observation date required
Reported

A named source published it.

Airlines, trackers, filings, or dated reporting provide aircraft counts, rollout dates, service terms, and per-tail records. These sources support most fleet odds.

Fleet evidence · publisher and effective date required
Vendor claim

The supplier published the specification.

The company selling the system published a capability or specification. We label this product context and keep it separate from passenger-measured performance.

Product claim · vendor and announcement date required
05 / Formulas

How we calculate each score.

Each formula uses published inputs. We leave a result unknown when a required input is missing.

Next-Gen

confirmed next-gen aircraft
÷ aircraft with a published system

Only Starlink and Amazon Leo enter the numerator. Airlines with an unpublished equipped count remain non-numeric.

Streaming score

fleet share × system quality
× free-for-you factor

Each published fleet segment contributes its weighted points. The rows sum to a 0–100 whole-fleet rating. It answers quality today, not the chance of next-gen.

06 / Provenance

Aircraft-level data sources

We name the source and date for each fleet figure.

United and Alaska aircraft records come from trackers built by @martinamps.

United tail records come from unitedstarlinktracker.com. Alaska tail and fleet records come from alaskastarlinktracker.com. Those independent trackers verify the installations behind the aircraft-level evidence.

Every other airline

Fleet states come from the carrier’s own dated public announcements, with the publisher and date attached. The site marks a count as unpublished when the carrier does not provide one.
