United Airlines buys 113 acres in Denver with an eye toward expansion
Chicago-based United Airlines is making another investment in Denver, purchasing 113 acres outside the airport where it has a key hub.
The carrier plans to use part of the undeveloped agricultural land, purchased for $33 million, to expand United’s pilot-training facility in Denver, spokesperson Patrick Mullane said. But that won’t take up the entire piece of land, which also leaves the carrier options as it grows in Denver.“It’s prudent for any large company to take advantage of opportunities to buy land in its key cities when the opportunity arises,” Mullane said in a statement.
“Denver is one of the fastest growing cities in the country and as the Mile High City’s most flown airline, it’s essential that we maintain the most modern infrastructure and fleet to support our local employees and customers and deliver a great experience,” United CEO Scott Kirby said in a statement in May. “Our expansion in Denver will further enable us to connect our customers to destinations across the globe and revitalize our presence at the airport with modern, customer friendly offerings.
