Summary
- United Airlines plans to build 15 full-flight simulators on its newly purchased land near Denver International Airport to expand its pilot training facilities.
- The airline’s current training facilities are running at capacity, so the new training facility will help relieve some of that pressure.
- United Airlines has other pilot training facilities, such as the United Aviate Academy in Phoenix, and the recently expanded in-flight training center near Houston.
ZGF Architects, a United States (US)-based architect firm, has submitted plans on behalf of United Airlines for the carrier’s 100-acre (404,686 square meter) land that it purchased for $33 million in August 2023. At the time, the airline already hinted that part of the land would be used for pilot training facilities.
