United Airlines has begun construction on a $315 million Technical Operations complex at Orlando International Airport. The project, coordinated with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA), will centralize the airline’s maintenance operations and support the continued growth of its fleet.
Located on the west side of the airport, the 354,400-square-foot campus will include two hangars, a warehouse, shops, offices, and employee parking. The facility will be able to accommodate up to six narrow-body aircraft at once, or a combination of one wide-body and three narrow-body aircraft. It replaces multiple older buildings currently used by United at the airport.
The new complex will bring together more than 1,000 United Tech Ops employees on a single site. The airline will continue using its existing facilities during construction and will demolish a legacy hangar after transitioning operations.
The project is expected to open in late 2027. According to GOAA, the development will provide airside access and free up high-value aviation land for future projects. Officials also highlighted the project’s economic and strategic value, citing Orlando’s strong aviation workforce and efficient geographic positioning for aircraft routing.
