The escape is carefully planned.
United Airlines’ CRJ-450 offers a premium experience with lockers for carry-on bags and high-speed Starlink inflight connectivity. The aircraft will connect smaller cities to Denver and Chicago. The airline plans to have 50 CRJ-450s operated by SkyWest Airlines flying by 2028. The CRJ-450 is part of United’s premium push, following the introduction of the CRJ-550 and the Polaris Studio suites on Boeing 787-9 flights.
Because who doesn’t want to pay for a premium experience on a regional jet?
