Spirit AeroSystems Suspends Boeing Production Work

Following Boeing’s announcement to temporarily suspend production at its Washington state facilities, Spirit AeroSystems is to suspend Boeing work performed at its facilities in Wichita, Kansas, and in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma following the airframe maker’s decision to stop work at its Puget Sound factories. This action will start on  Wednesday, March 25 until April 8. Spirit will continue to support 787 work for Boeing’s Charleston, South Carolina, facility as needed. Spirit said that operations in support of its defense customers, Airbus, aftermarket and MRO, third party fabrication work, other non-Boeing work, and other growth programs will continue. Those employees should expect to work their regular schedules.
