United anticipates that the new four-story building coming to its 23-acre Central Park campus will be completed before next year’s end. Construction was spurred by the airline’s hiring push, with the goal of employing another 10,000 pilots by 2030.
United anticipates that the new four-story building coming to its 23-acre Central Park campus at 7500 East 35th Ave. will be completed before next year’s end. Construction was spurred by the airline’s hiring push, with the overarching goal of employing another 10,000 pilots by 2030. This year, United is focused on hiring more than 2,000 new pilots.
The move comes as a pilot deficit grips not only the U.S., but also the globe. The Federal Aviation Administration limits the age of commercial pilots to 65, so pilots are aging out of the national industry. On top of that, fewer pilots are leaving the military, so the airline industry is rushing to secure new hires quickly, reports management consulting firm Oliver Wyman.
“The expansion of this world-class facility gives United even more resources to recruit and train the next generation of aviators,” said Marc Champion, managing director of the flight training center, in a statement. The new building will be home to 12 extra advanced flight simulators, training classrooms, conference rooms and offices, according to a news release. The campus already includes seven buildings and 555,000 square feet of training space, with 39 flight simulators and 15 fixed training devices.
