United Airlines has sent another signal about a potential move of its corporate headquarters from Chicago to Denver.
In a new filing with the City of Denver, United said it may eventually build more than 1 million square feet of office space to accommodate more than 6,000 employees on land it purchased in 2023 near the Denver airport. United employs nearly 5,000 corporate employees in Chicago.
The first priority for development of the Denver land is for a new flight simulator training center. The airline says future growth and pilot training will create demand for 60 additional flight simulator bays than United currently operates closer to the downtown Denver.
