United is converting 70-seat aircraft to 50-seaters with more legroom for all, sufficient space for every passenger’s carry-on bag and a self-serve snack bar for first class passengers. Whether it pays off financially will be keenly watched by the airline industry.
GoJet First Officer Alicja Skreiberg climbs the stairs to a United Express CRJ 550 in Greensboro,Despite a continuing effort to diminish the amount of default legroom in coach seats in mainline aircraft, airlines are taking the opposite tack in their regional jets.
The obvious question is whether it works financially to fly a 70-seat aircraft with just 50 seats including 30 premium seats — 10 in first, 20 in economy plus and 20 in economy. Last week, United undertook a rollout tour, introducing the CRJ-550 to media and key customers in 10 airports, including Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, N.C., on Friday.
Other cities with Chicago CRJ-550 service include Allentown, Pa. ; Bentonville, Ark. ; Cedar Rapids, Iowa ; Cincinnati ; Columbus, Ohio ; Des Moines, Iowa ; Grand Rapids, Mich. ; Harrisburg, Pa. ; Indianapolis ; Madison, Wis. ; Oklahoma City ; Richmond ; St. Louis and Tulsa .
