United Airlines Launches Major Houston Infrastructure Projects

The airline begins construction on a $177M maintenance facility and opens a $16M training center at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

United Airlines has started building a $177 million Ground Service Equipment Maintenance Facility, set to open in 2027, at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
The 140,000-square-foot facility will support over 1,800 ground service vehicles with enhanced repair, storage, and sustainability capabilities, including battery charging and metal fabrication resources.
A new $16 million Technical Operations Training Center has been opened to train technicians with advanced tools like simulators and scenario-based maintenance programs for Boeing aircraft.
The training center also includes a $6.3 million Move Team Facility to centralize Super Tug operations, which manage hundreds of aircraft daily.
These investments are part of United Airlines' broader $32 billion global strategy since 2021, aimed at addressing growing passenger demand, workforce development, and sustainability goals.
