Fort Worth American Airlines 300-acre campus cleared for landing

​​FORT WORTH – American Airlines will build a new headquarters complex in Fort Worth.

The Fort Worth-based carrier said it will demolish the one-time Sabre Holdings headquarters building on the northwest corner of Trinity Blvd. and Hwy. 360 and construct four buildings on the 97-acre site. American did not disclose the cost of the project but said the new buildings will house about 5,000 employees.

The new location is adjacent to American’s Flight Academy and Training and Conference Center and near to its newly-opened $88 million Integrated Operations Center that opened in September. 

By moving the headquarters from its current location on Amon Carter Blvd., American will create a corporate campus on the west side of Hwy. ​360 with about 300 acres.

Groundbreaking on the new buildings is planned for next spring and move into the new facilities in late summer or early fall of 2018.
