L3 Technologies (NYSE:LLL) announced today an expansion plan for
its Link Training & Simulation multi-purpose pilot training
center facility in Arlington, Texas. Under this plan, L3 will add
approximately 40,000 square feet, more than doubling the size of
the high bay site at L3 Link’s headquarters. The training center
provides simulation and instruction tools for both military and
commercial pilots, and the expansion project is expected to be
completed in the summer of 2018.
“This expansion reflects L3’s strategy to provide our growing
pilot customer base with affordable and convenient options for
staying current with required certifications and evolving
technologies,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, L3’s Chief Executive
Officer and President. “Our focus is on developing state-of-the-art
capabilities that align with the priorities of our military and
commercial airline customers, who are increasingly outsourcing
their training and simulation activities.”
The new multi-purpose training center serves domestic and
international customers, and is centrally located a few minutes
south of the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport – one of the
busiest airports in the U.S. The center expansion includes capacity
for an additional six full-flight simulators, classrooms, locker
room, library and student lounge.
“We are excited to announce this expansion and the additional
capability the new multi-purpose training center provides,” said
Lenny Genna, President of L3 Link Training & Simulation. “L3
Link is growing steadily and pushing the technological capabilities
of the flight training industry. This addition to the center will
enable Link to host more students, while offering the
highest-quality training experience.”
Additionally, L3 is currently building a new training center
near London’s Gatwick Airport, which is scheduled to open later
this year. This new manufacturing and training facility will focus
on commercial simulation and pilot training for global airline
customers and ab initio pilots.
