I tillegg vurderer Longview aviation/de Havilland å blåse nytt liv i Dash8 med 50 seter.

De Havilland will also study potential demand, particularly in North America, for stretched or shortened Dash 8 variants, says Young, noting most 50-seaters in service are nearing retirement. North American airlines operate about 870 aircraft in the 50-seat category, the vast majority being aging CRJs and Embraer ERJs, according to Cirium fleets data.
Those types are long out of production and few replacement options exist beyond ATR's 42-600 turboprop. As a result, United Airlines is actually ripping seats from 70-seat CRJ700s to create 50-seaters dubbed CRJ550s.
