United Airlines Expands Denver Training Hub | Denver News

United Airlines just completed a massive upgrade to its Denver pilot training center, adding 40 new simulators—including full-motion ones—to handle up to 860 pilots daily. The already colossal 700,000-square-foot facility (that’s 12 football fields) trains nearly all of United’s 18,000 pilots and new hires, operating nearly 365 days a year with over 32,000 sessions annually. But this is just Phase 1—United’s buying land near DIA for $33M to build an even bigger, next-gen hub set to open in 2030. Since 2021, they’ve poured nearly $1 billion into Denver, expanding gates, lounges, and hiring aggressively. And insiders say a major new international route is coming soon—making Denver the undisputed heart of United’s global ambitions.
