Where a percentage is shown it is a share of that airline's full tracked fleet — the same denominator its dedicated tracker publishes — so neither side is flattered. Airlines whose program is decided by aircraft type get the per-type table instead of a percentage, because their full-fleet denominator includes types the program deliberately excludes. Either way, whether a specific flight has Starlink depends on the aircraft assigned, not the airline average: check the flight number for a real answer.
