The number of 70 and 76-seat airplanes operated by Express carriers is at the max allowed.

They are replacing older 70-seat CRJ-700s with new 70-seat E-175SCs on a 1:1 basis so the total number of 70-seat Express airplanes remains unchanged.

The 70-seat E-175SC is the same size as the 76-seat E-175 but has more FC and E+ seats than the smaller 70-seat airplanes it is replacing.

The replaced 70-seat CRJ-700s are being converted into 50-seat CRJ-550s going from 4E+ and 46 E to 20F, 20E+, and 20E with four luggage closets for rollaboards.
