A key Boeing supplier that makes the fuselages for its popular 737 Max airplanes is laying off about 450 workers. That's because production has slowed down ever since a panel flew off one of those airplanes operated by Alaska Airlines in midair in January.
FILE - The Spirit AeroSystems sign is seen, July 25, 2013, in Wichita , Kan. The key Boeing supplier that makes the fuselages for its popular 737 Max airplanes confirmed Thursday, May 16, 2024, that it is laying off about 450 workers because production has slowed down ever since a panel flew off of one of those airplanes operated by Alaska Airlines in midair in January.
A spokesman for Spirit AeroSystems confirmed the layoffs at its Wichita, Kansas, plant on Thursday that would trim its workforce of just over 13,000 people. Spirit is Boeing’s most important supplier on the 737s because it makes fuselages and installs door plugs like the one that flew off the plane. But it’s“The recent slowdown in the delivery rate on commercial programs compels a reduction to our workforce in Wichita,” Spirit spokesman Joe Buccino said.
“Together, we will continue to work to protect the strength of the aerospace industry in Wichita and ensure our members receive the assistance and resources they need to overcome this challenge and emerge stronger,” the union said.
