By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

Airbus revealed Wednesday the new aviation experience center to be built in Mobile will be named Flight Works Alabama and the aerospace company shared a sneak peek at what it will look like.

“The name Flight Works represents a number of different aspects of the center’s mission, just as the center itself will offer varied experiences for each visitor,” said 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,” he added. “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.” Last May, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced plans to build the hands-on, instructional facility, aimed at bolstering Alabama’s workforce development efforts and inspiring young people to pursue careers in aerospace.
