Starlink Install Rate Index

How fast each tracked airline is actually installing Starlink — and whether their stated targets hold at that pace.

United Airlines
In progress

As of August 31, 2026, 550 of 1,654 tracked United Airlines aircraft (33%) have Starlink, with installs averaging ~44.7/month over the last three complete months.

One day excluded as a bulk import (2025-12-03: 121) — too many aircraft on one date to be installs, so they'd read as a spike the fleet never had.

Hawaiian Airlines
Complete

No dated install history to chart — Every A330 and A321neo has Starlink. The 717 interisland jets won't get it.

Alaska Airlines
Regional fleet done

As of August 31, 2026, 99 of 350 tracked Alaska Airlines aircraft (28%) have Starlink.

No dated install history to chart — All 90 regional E175s have Starlink. Mainline 737 and 787 installs are under way.

Pace counts only dated, organically observed installs. Seed batches and type-rule backfills are excluded by source, and any single date carrying far more aircraft than the fleet installs in a day is dropped as an import and named above — so a data backfill doesn't read as an install spike. Projections are straight-line extrapolations of the trailing three complete months; below ~0.5 installs/month we say "too early to call" instead of projecting. Counts shown for "share of the fleet" targets are computed from this tracker's roster and labelled as such — only figures an airline actually published are attributed to it, with the date the airline stated it. A target stated over more than one carrier's fleet is measured against those carriers' combined roster on both sides of the ratio.
