Airbus Names Aviation Experience Center In Mobile

'Flight Works Alabama' Slated To Open In 2019

Airbus has named the new aviation experience center it plans to build in Mobile, AL over the next year, and released architectural renderings of the new building.

Dubbed "Flight Works Alabama", the center will offer varied experiences for each visitor, according to Airbus Americas Chairman and CEO Jeff Knittel. "'Works’ speaks to learning how flight actually works, as well as how one can find a career in the aviation industry. In addition, visitors will come face-to-face with the inner-workings of aircraft, systems, and components through hands-on experiences. We are convinced visitors to Flight Works Alabama will walk away with greater knowledge and appreciation of how aviation enriches everyone’s lives.” Knittel said. “We’re so pleased to once again partner with the State of Alabama to further aerospace excellence on the Gulf Coast, and to help inspire a future workforce for the industry.”

Television station WBRC reports that the center is also intended to bolster workforce development and raise interest among young people in careers in the aerospace industry.

The 19,000 square-foot educational facility will include a large interactive exhibit area, classrooms, a collaboration room, restaurant, gift shop and workshop. It will also be the gateway for tours of the Airbus A320 assembly line in Mobile.

The state of Alabama will contract with construction firms, wich construction expected to begin in late spring or early summer. There will be an official groundbreaking during the summer months, and the center is expected to be open to the public in 2019.
