United Airlines og SkyWest skal nå "konvertere" CRJ200 til CRJ450, som skal være en 41-seters CRJ200 som har lignende ting gjort med kabinen slik som CRJ700-maskinene som blei konvertert til CRJ500 fikk. Det som er først og fremst å legge merke til er at de skal få større hattehyller som har plass til trillekofferter.

The CRJ450– a reimagined and redesigned version of the CRJ200 will be operated by SkyWest and will connect smaller cities to the airline's Denver and Chicago hubs starting this fall. This will be one of United's most premium regional jets, boasting a spacious United First cabin with a large luggage closet instead of overhead bins, creating an open, luxurious environment unlike any other commercial regional aircraft.
The 41-seat CRJ450 is a first-of-its kind regional aircraft designed to evoke a feeling of a private jet experience for travelers in the United First cabin. In a first for a U.S. commercial airline, the overhead bins in United First have been removed in favor of a large luggage closet, creating a spacious, airy environment. The Economy cabin features overhead bins large enough to fit rollaboard bags – uncommon on regional jets of this size – and all new trim and finish that's consistent with United's larger aircraft. Every passenger onboard can enjoy free Starlink Wi-Fi if they're a member of MileagePlus, keeping them connected to work and entertainment just like they are at home.
The CRJ450 joins the popular CRJ550 – an airplane that marked the start of United's reimagining of its regional fleet when it launched in 2019. The CRJ550 has among the highest customer satisfaction scores of any regional aircraft. By 2028, United expects to have more than 50 CRJ450s and nearly 120 CRJ550s in service, giving travelers a stylish, premium option to connect primarily from smaller cities to United's hubs and global network.
