Spirit AeroSystems

Spirit AeroSystems is a prominent global aerospace manufacturer that specializes in aerostructures. With a history that spans nearly a century, the company was established as an independent entity in 2005 after Boeing sold its Wichita division. Spirit has since expanded its operations through acquisitions, including businesses from BAE Systems and Bombardier, enhancing its global presence and product offerings. The company primarily manufactures major components such as fuselage sections and wings for aircraft. Its Wichita plant is a key producer of Boeing 737 fuselages, while the Tulsa facility focuses on wings and components for Boeing aircraft. Spirit also produces wing structures for Airbus, including the A220. In addition to manufacturing, Spirit offers maintenance, repair, and overhaul services, supporting both commercial and defense aerospace sectors. Its diverse customer base includes major manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus, reflecting its significant role in the aerospace supply chain.
