Wichita 737 Max Supplier To Work Around Production Halt
HM Dunn AeroSystems, which supplies the bulkhead and other parts for Boeing's grounded 737 Max, doesn't plan to furlough workers.

A Wichita parts supplier to the 737 Max announced Thursday that it doesn’t expect to furlough employees, despite Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems’ temporary production suspension of the controversial variant of Boeing’s best-selling narrowbody airplane. “Our leadership team worked through the holidays to build a customer- and performance-focused plan that allows us to keep our team for the future intact,” HM Dunn president and CEO Phil Anderson said. “We believe in the 737 Max airplane and are confident that Boeing and regulators will successfully work together to safely return the airplane to service in the near future.”
