This ambitious initiative is reflected in a master plan.

The first phase, outlines a significant transformation of the Flight Center.

A state-of-the-art hangar addition extending over 16,000 SF – the very distance covered by the Wright brothers in their maiden flight to the campus. This space is large enough to protect LETU’s entire fleet of planes and jets from weather, doubling up as a magnificent venue for banquets, large gatherings, and fundraising events. However, it’s not all about planes. Focus remains on the student experience.

Classrooms, labs, student spaces, graphics on the walls, attractive color schemes, and even the patterns on the floor – everything has been carefully designed to create an immersive learning environment.

A distinct feature of the project is the third-level flight lounge – an observation deck intended for parents, grandparents, and faculty members to witness students’ first flight experiences. That said, this isn’t merely an airplane hangar; it’s a crucial part of the program, a testament to LETU’s commitment to preparing students for the varying conditions of the aviation industry.
