A novel method is introduced for approximate calculation of the probability that a plane can connect to a base station in an aeronautical ad hoc networks (AANET) where planes move along multiple specified airlines. Since the communication coverage of a plane can covers segments of airlines, for each of these segments, there is a probability that the communication of the plane (FCOM) can extend to it, from which FCOM can extend again to others segments of airlines until it reaches a base station. As multiple airlines are in AANET, there are plenty of extension paths for FCOM to reach a base station and each path has an existing probability, which is used to calculate the probability that the plane can connects to a base station. Thus, our method is in fact some kind of probabilistic diffusion, which works out the probability that the communication of a plane can diffuse to a base station. We choose the flight routes above the North Pacific Ocean and also generate some random scenarios in simulations to show the correctness and universality of our work. In the conclusion, several future works of AANET based on our method are introduced.
