United Airlines to Build Flight Simulators in Denver
09.01.2024 - 07:13 / travelpulse.com / Scott Kirby / United Airlines / Rich Thomaselli
We love to speculate in this country, and speculation ran rampant that United Airlines was looking to move headquarters from Chicago to Denver after numerous trips by CEO Scott Kirby to the western hub.
The rumors were fueled when United bought a parcel of land near Denver International Airport.
Speculate no more.
United Airlines has submitted plans to build flight simulators at a 113-acre parcel near the Denver airport.
The facility, which United hopes to open by 2027, will house 12 simulators, with plans officially submitted to the city last month. A nationwide pilot shortage has existed for years, leading officials to say “an immediate need exists to establish a new simulator building.”
United paid $33 million for the parcel of land.
This would be an expansion of an existing flight training simulation facility opened by the airline, with United currently boasting 44 simulators in Denver. The airline said the existing simulators have reached capacity, hence the need for a new building.
“The complete implementation of Phase 1 is projected to extend beyond 2027, including additional flight training facilities and associated ancillary uses,” the plan document read.
"Concurrently, alongside the FTC, United is actively investigating programmatic needs to support corporate campus activity accommodating 5,000 employees in future phases of the project," the plans continued.
United previously said it has big plans to grow in Denver.
