Asked if United could use the land to move its corporate headquarters, a United spokeswoman said, "The land in Denver gives us options for the future as we implement our big plans to grow." United added that it has "been in Chicago for decades and have thousands of employees here" and that the airline has an immediate need to expand its Flight Training Center.
In June 2022, United broke ground on a new four-story building at the flight training facility. The airline says it is the Denver area’s largest employer, with about 10,000 employees and 400-plus daily flights from Denver, the most of any airline.
