United Airlines Rebrands CRJ200 as 'CRJ450' in Regional Premium Cabin Overhaul
United Airlines is reconfiguring its 50-seat Bombardier CRJ200 regional jets into a new, more spacious 45-seat layout branded as the CRJ450. This initiative is part of the airline's broader strategy to enhance the premium passenger experience across its network. The redesigned cabin will feature a significant increase in first-class and Economy Plus seating, while reducing the total number of seats. The conversion, managed by MHI RJ Aviation Group (MHIRJ), also includes larger overhead bins and other cabin improvements to align the regional service with United's mainline product. The first modified aircraft, operated by regional partner Air Wisconsin, is expected to enter service shortly.
