The November Chapter meeting will be an exciting one! Chicago’s Leading Edge Chapter will be touring the United Airlines Operations Center (NOC) in the Willis Tower. The NOC is the heart that drives one of the largest airlines in the world and the tour will be a great experience for anyone who attends!
We will meet in the lobby of the Willis Tower where everyone will be given a security badge. We will then be escorted by a United Airlines tour guide through their operations center. This will be an opportunity to see inside the heart of one of the largest airlines in the world.
The Willis Tower is located at 233 S Wacker Dr, Chicago, IL 60606. Parking is conveniently located directly across the street from the tower on Franklin Street. Tower Self Park, operated by InterPark, is located at 211 W. Adams with parking access from either Franklin or Adams. We recommend contacting InterPark at 312/935-2724 to discuss pre-paid parking or discounted parking vouchers. Click here to visit their site. The closest “L” stop is Quincy/Wells, which is approximately 1 block east of the Willis Tower. An additional parking recommendation is located on Wells Street, just south of Polk Street (River City Marina) called Hunter Parking at 880 S. Wells, the cost is 5$ and it is located about a ½ mile from the Willis Tower.
Due to security, we require the names of attendees in advance. Please RSVP prior to November 2nd to chicagosleadingedge@gmail.com. Additionally, a government issued photo ID is required for the tour.
