Here’s a report from the AF forum. AF423, flying from BOG to CDG, has Starlink operating.

Looked it up, that’s an A350-900.

A wide body, on an intercontinental route? How is that possible!

According to UA wide bodies aren’t qualified.

Oh the French doesn’t care about US FAA certification?

Obviously UA made a different choice than other airlines. Let’s not pretend that UA rollout was the only course they could have taken.
