In this shot, you can see United's HQ in downtown Chicago. It has the teal green roof.


Also, here is a shot of the Boeing HQ just west of the Chicago River by the SEARS Tower (not Willis Tower).

The Delta World Headquarters is actually a campus spread throughout many buildings. All real estate owned by Delta to include the admin buildings, training, OPS center, etc.

Some of my own shots:

There are better images across the net. Cool thing too is the widget in the wroth iron fences. Hard to make out because it's forged throughout but you notice it if you look.

There are some of United's on google images. Its hard to see them all though since WHQ is in three separate places around the Chicago land area. The one in Elk Grove is the "heart" since dispatch and many other vital things are based there.

There is also one near ORD as well as the offices in downtown as posted.

Better views are on Bing. Go to where you want and then click the "Bird's eye". And the nice thing is you can rotate the view to see all sides by clicking on the little "circle arrows" on the left. It's only for the big cities and its a little to "close" for the big buildings but it's pretty good where it's available.

I know CO doesn't use all of it, but many floors are occupied by CO. Systems Operations Coordination Center (SOCC) is there. Some of Chelsea Catering is there. They do BusinessFirst and First Class focus groups there. There is a company store in the lobby, big silver CO logos all over the place as well as Gold Continental Airlines signs and logos on the outside of the building.

This one has board room, SOCC, and “emergency room”

Also can people give addresses or something that can be looked up on map sites? I like to go and check them out online. Thanks,

Here's the Southwest Headquarters:

http://i28.tinypic.com/200fu40.jpg

Notice the outdoor patios on either side of the main entrance. They provide a fantastic view of runway operations and the downtown skyline. Those patios have wet bars, too. Many a wild party has taken place there.

Here's the training center:

http://i29.tinypic.com/fwktva.jpg

Notice how the back section of the building is taller. This is for additional ceiling clearance in the simulator bays.

Here's the back side of the building:

http://i32.tinypic.com/2lw1u34.jpg

You can see a garage door at each sim bay. The small, crooked white section on the lower left was built to house the (very) old 737-200 simulator, which was originally housed in one of the main sim bays. I'm not sure if it's still there, though.

I remember walking through the room that contained the multitude of giant racks of computers and vacuum tubes that ran that sim. The computer room was the size of a large apartment. It was pretty impressive...I can't imaging having to move the thing.

I really miss working at CO's HQ during my internship. The building is amazing in that from EVERY different angle you look at it as you drive around down town or wherever else the building seems to adopt a completely different shape. From the south/north it looks like a a single tall octagonal tube. From yet another angle it actually gives the impression that it is flat. From the southeast it looks like it has a square front. And in fact, you don't realize that, until you see it from the air or in google earth, it is in fact shaped as an airfoil.

It's architect is a genius   

Oh and by the way, they also own another building down the street, which I think is the bland rectangular one seen in the OP's picture above. These two and the Crown Plaza Hotel are interconnected by an overhead walkway, and Houston's "secret" underground tunnel network.

I know CO doesn't use all of it, but many floors are occupied by CO. Systems Operations Coordination Center (SOCC) is there. Some of Chelsea Catering is there. They do BusinessFirst and First Class focus groups there. There is a company store in the lobby, big silver CO logos all over the place as well as Gold Continental Airlines signs and logos on the outside of the building.

Executive, HR, finance, SOCC, Alliances, Coroporate Real Estate, Sales and Marketing, Some parts of Chelsea, and some parts of Express Jet have offices in the HQ on Smith Street. An oil/gas company moved in several floors in 2005. There are several law firms, accounting firms and other various companies who HQ out of the same building..

Tech Ops, Engineering, Reliabiltiy, purchasing, accounting, payroll, Quality, IT, and some other departments are located in the Jefferson building, down the street and around the corner.

Even Gordon Bethune still has an office in this building, separate from CO, last I heard, but it has been several years...

I will dig around in some old photos but while I was in the military we were staying at the old Delta training facility in Greenbriar, outside of Atlanta. It had been abandoned for some time and we moved in during the Olympics. No A/C, running water, etc. Was in that place for 2 months! UGH!

Was TWA headquarters ever out in Earth City? I think that they used to have offices in that medium rise in Northwest Plaza along Lindbergh, but I don't know if that was ever their HQ. Also, I think that the brick building near the airport that is now AA's ground ops office used to be the Trans States HQ, but I could be wrong.

The sims for United are out in Denver at what we call DENTK. Its a gigantic building in Stapleton CO, it was connected to the old airport in its day, and houses all the flying "stuff" for United.

Before the sims where what they are today, there was a lot of touch and gos done at Stapleton. If you look at the wiki page for Stapleton, they actually caught a DC-8 doing touch and gos in the early 1970s.

You actually get a great view of all the Elk Grove facilities about a minuted after departure on 32L/R, if still on or near runway heading.

No. EV has the entire hangar on long term lease from the City of Atlanta. The office space extends about one third of the building's width with the remainder being the actual hangar. The ground floor is solely for the hangar maintenance facilities. The lower bay to the left of the entrance has one floor of offices running the entire length and the higher bay has four upper floors with offices and training classrooms.

You were probably wondering why only part of the building is painted in light blue. The story as I heard it is that they found out that older (lower) part of the building has asbestos in the paint and requires additional work and cost to repaint. They should repaint the rest of the building in the next few months.

I am currently reading "SKYGODS" by Robert Gandt (great book). PA moved into the building in March 1963.When it opened, it was the largest commercial Office building in the World. Pan Am occupied 9 full floors with a large sales Office on the ground floor. The execuive Offices were on the forty-sixth floor. Trippe originally wanted the Pan Am sign and logo to be thiry feet high but settled for fifteen feet.

You were probably wondering why only part of the building is painted in light blue. The story as I heard it is that they found out that older (lower) part of the building has asbestos in the paint and requires additional work and cost to repaint. They should repaint the rest of the building in the next few months.

This is one of the reasons Delta never did anything with it(plus they dumped most of the work that TechOps did in DeltaNorth so they dumped the hangar.)

It was left with its logo even after Pan Am sold its Asia/Pacific network to United in 1986. Because Pan Am was so instrumental in tranforming Hawaii's economy from that of a pineapple/sugar exporter today's tourism/business region the Honolulu community decided to keep the logo as historical landmark for the city.

No, he probably refers to the LA-based airline that was relatively profitable through the 60s and 70s, innovative and groundbreaking (despite starting out small), pioneering lower-fare travel that we have today, and a strong proponent of Deregulation, with which it handled growth better than most. I'd be interested in seeing headquarters pictures from that era, too.

That photo above of the BN headquarters is actually their hangar and maintenance center.

The original BN headquarters were at a center called "Exchange Park" a few miles away frrom DAL. Then they moved to the huge new HQ at DFW around 1974 or so. Both buildings are still around.

IIRC, AT&T is in the old Exchange Park building, and Verizon is in the newer DFW building.

I've attended meetings with the following airlines in their headquarters and/or their maintenance buildings:

China Eastern
Hainan Airlines
Turkish Airlines / Turkish Technic
Easyjet
Thai Airways
Singapore Airlines
Asiana
ANA
JAL
Qatar Airways

As far as buildings go, none of them have been very impressive. The nicest, IMO has been Thai, with the worst being a toss-up between CEA and Hainan. I've had the "pleasure" of having lunch in the CEA employee cafeteria. It reminded me of the dining hall in The Shawshank Redemption, complete with metal trays and a chef smoking while serving food. In contrast, the Turkish Airlines cafeteria was really good and JAL's was just so-so.

Best conference room goes to Easyjet, actually, with CEA taking up the rear (no a/c and the smell of cigarette smoke).

The Turkish Airlines, Asiana and Thai Airways facilities were attached to their hangars, so we got some great up close and personal time with aircraft undergoing C and D checks.

Air Canada Headquarters in Montreal:

Until AC moved to the airport to cut costs sometime in the late 1980s, around the time they were privatized I believe, their head office was in the building below for several years. I believe AC had a financial interest in that building and it was named Place Air Canada from the time it opened until AC moved out.



For quite a few years before moving to that building, their head office was in Place Ville Marie, the first large modern high-rise office building in Montreal that opened in 1962, designed by famous Chinese-born American architect, I.M. Pei.

Quoting Fly-K (Reply 131):
But 90% of HQ activities are now in FRA, spread across several buildings, with the newest and nicest one the "LAC" (Lufthansa Aviation Center).

Lufthansa's legal company address is Cologne, for historical reasons only. However, the corporate headquarters (that is, the top executives' offices) has been in Frankfurt, probably for 30 years, if not longer. Recently they moved into the new Aviation center at Frankfurt Airport:



Lufhansa now occupies a rather unappealing office building in the city of Cologne, in the borough of Deutz, to be more accurate. Only a handful of ancillary departments are located here, most have been moved to Frankfurt over the years:




Lufthansa subsidiary and regional affiliate CityLine is still headquartered at Cologne/Bonn Airport. This company recently relocated to this building at CGN, which is outside the secured area:

Very nice RIC. Very modern and suited for today's needs. I also like the original Torre Avianca (Avianca Tower) located in downtown Bogota. At the time of its opening in 1970 it was South America's tallest and most modern skyscraper.

Yeah.. it's sad it had that terrible fire in the 70s.

Anyone has a picture of the current AV headquarters at Avenida Eldorado?

Plenty of people mistakenly believe SQ's HQ is at SIA Building in downtown Singapore:

Well, they took off the golden crane about two years ago. As a matter of fact, I think only the dot-matrix display inside the SMRT buses make a reference to it as the SIA Bldg.

Anyone have any pics of Eastern Airlines headquarters and training facilities in Miami?

I don't have pictures, but I believe the old Eastern Miami headquarters is still were American Airlines is. While obviously headquartered in Dallas, AA has a very large corporate presence in Miami that came from Eastern Airlines and remains to this day. I don't know of another U.S. airline with such a large secondary corporate office, though I believe UAL has a large corporate presence in San Francisco as well.

I wasn't sure, I thought the Eastern Airlines Headquarters was torn down, along with some hangar's.

I'm glad I didn't see a photo of AS's HQ it's not that exciting...

True, nothing to write home about. Their HQ is pretty secluded, sort of hidden in a nearby forest next to a lake. The only way you can find it is by looking for their sign next to Pacific Hwy South going northbound. AS training center is even harder to find, it is only across the street from their HQ. Their sims bldg is on a different street just north of the training center.

Here is BA's headquarters at Waterside, next door to Heathrow.
Very odd building that some people say looks a bit like an insect.


The other side of LHR has the training facilities for Cabin Crew, ground staff, and pilots, here is a pic of the sim building taken from one of the training rooms.
