Every day of the United rollout

Newest first: which aircraft types and tail numbers went live on each date, plus the route-frequency and odds movements for the days a snapshot exists. 176 install days and 481 equipped tails, back to Mar 14, 2025.

DATA CREDITAircraft and tail numbers come from the equipped roster published by unitedstarlinktracker.com, the independent community tracker built by @martinamps, dated by each jet's install day. All credit for the data goes to them. Visit for live per-tail status ↗. WiFi Odds is unofficial and not affiliated with United Airlines, SpaceX/Starlink, or the tracker.
§1 · How to read a row

What one day records

A row is one update day and it can carry up to four fields. Few days carry all four. A day with none of them still gets its own row, because a week of quiet is a fact about the rollout and hiding it would flatter the curve.

Reported An install date here is the day a tail first appears in the tracker's equipped roster. That is a publication date, so the aircraft may have come out of the hangar a day or two before its row. The archive runs from Mar 14, 2025 to 2026-07-25.

§2 · Why keep it

What the archive is for

Two things, and both of them are arithmetic that only a long record can do.

Pace, not promises

Counting installs per week across the whole archive gives a rate, and a rate turns a fleet count into a date. It also catches a programme that has stopped: three quiet weeks show up here long before anybody issues a statement about them.

Priors for the next airline

United is the only fleet with a per-flight route history, so it is the only place where the shape of a Starlink rollout has been measured end to end. Every airline instrumented after it starts from these numbers.

§3 · The log

Day by day

481 of 1,808 equipped

Loading the archive from data.json

The day log is built in the browser from united/data.json, which is the same file the rest of this site is baked from, so it needs JavaScript. Two prerendered pages carry the same material without it: the full registry lists every equipped tail with its type, and the United score page carries the fleet counts and the ConnectScore arithmetic.

Add an observation

What the record cannot see

This log knows the day each tail was first seen equipped. It does not know what the connection did on any of them afterwards. If you flew a United aircraft this month, thirty seconds here is a data point nobody else has.

The captive portal usually names it.
