SimuFlite Expands at DFW

GE Capital SimuFlite has begun its third major expansion of its Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport training center in six years. The company has broken ground on a 70,000 sq. ft. north wing that will contain six simulator bays, classrooms and office space. The new wing is scheduled to be completed by mid-2002. The expansion brings the total area at SimuFlite Center to 411,000 sq. ft. When finished, the entire facility will be able to house 36 simulators: 30 will be operated by SimuFlite, and six by Bombardier Aerospace for its own training programs. The wing is designed to allow further expansion.
