Alaska scores 55 out of 100, which is mixed, and sits 8 of 18 on the board. The tails are verified one by one and nobody publishes which one is scheduled onto which departure, so this page answers by aircraft type and stops there.

99 of 350 mainline + regional and installing fast. We publish alaskastarlinktracker.com's count; Alaska's own page says 142 of 384 group-wide, which folds in Hawaiian and leaves out the 11 737-700s. The ex-Hawaiian widebodies are counted under Hawaiian.
Every aircraft Alaska flies, by system, priced. The rows add up to the published ConnectScore, and the top row on its own is the next-gen number. The build fails if they stop adding up.

350 aircraft with a published system. Segments come from a published fleet table by aircraft type. Points are shown to one decimal place; the unrounded rows sum to 54.95, which rounds to the published 55.
Four things, in the order they become useful. Every one of them is available at tier B, which is the tier this page was derived at. Anything this fleet cannot support has been cut from the list.
Aircraft assignments firm up roughly 48 hours before departure and they can still move up to pushback. Whatever this page says today, the answer for your flight is more settled then.
The tails on this fleet are verified one by one. Nobody publishes which tail is scheduled onto which departure, so there is no per-flight history to count. A type is a weaker answer than a registration and it is the strongest one this fleet supports. Where the sub-fleets stand →
Roughly 28% of the fleet carries Starlink today, so a different departure is a real second draw. Whether that is worth doing is a question about the change fee on your fare, and it is cheaper to know the answer before the gate than at it.
Nobody has load-tested a full cabin on any of these systems, so a good score is not a promise about the hour you fly. Downloading the deck is the move that makes the odds stop mattering.
The rollout page breaks this fleet down by sub-fleet, which is as narrow as verified tails get without a per-flight feed to count.
Alaska has Starlink on 99 of its 350 aircraft (28%) as of 2026-07, so it is a real possibility but not the default. Its ConnectScore is 55 out of 100, in the mixed band.
On Alaska it is free onboard. ConnectScore multiplies the fleet share by a free-for-you factor, so a paid or unconfirmed free claim scores lower than the same fleet given away free.
99 of 350, or 28% of the fleet. Verified tail by tail by alaskastarlinktracker.com (@martinamps).
The ledger sees installs, and installs stop at the cabin door. If you flew Alaska this month, thirty seconds here is a data point nobody else has.
