BOEING
Dec 09, 2025
BOEING completed its acquisition of SPIRIT AEROSYSTEMS, taking ownership of all of Spirit's Boeing-related commercial operations, including 737 fuselages and major structures for the 767, 777 and 787 Dreamliner. It also includes commercially procured fuselages for the P-8 and KC-46. The transaction also brings Boeing's largest supplier of spare parts in house, expands its global maintenance, repair and overhaul services footprint and adds to its rotable, lease, and exchange portfolio with Spirit's aftermarket businesses. Spirit Defense will continue as an independent supplier to the defense industry to ensure uninterrupted support for its customers. It will act as a non-integrated subsidiary of Boeing Defense, Space & Security, aligning for financial reporting and select enterprise functional and site support, but maintaining independent governance and operations. In addition, portions of Spirit AeroSystems' operations in Belfast, Northern Ireland, have been acquired by Boeing, and the Belfast site will operate as an independent subsidiary branded as Short Brothers, a Boeing Company. Spirit AeroSystems' commercial and aftermarket operations in Wichita, Dallas and Tulsa, as well as the Innovation Center in Prestwick, Scotland, will be integrated into Boeing.
