Spirit AeroSystems

Overview

Spirit AeroSystems is a prominent global aerospace manufacturer specializing in aerostructures. With a history spanning nearly a century, the company was established as an independent entity in 2005 after Boeing sold its Wichita division. Through strategic acquisitions, including businesses from BAE Systems and Bombardier, Spirit AeroSystems has broadened its global footprint and enhanced its range of products.

The organization primarily manufactures major components such as fuselage sections and wings for aircraft. The Wichita facility is central to Boeing 737 fuselage production, while its Tulsa site focuses on producing wings and components for Boeing aircraft. Spirit AeroSystems also manufactures wing structures for Airbus, notably for the A220. Beyond manufacturing, the company provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for both commercial and defense aerospace sectors, maintaining relationships with leading aircraft manufacturers and playing an integral role in the aerospace supply chain.
