Boeing Supplier Spirit Plans Company-wide Job Cuts
Lower production rates at Airbus and Boeing are leading Spirit AeroSystems to cut commercial production jobs in Wichita and company wide.

Job cuts are expected at Spirit AeroSystems plants in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, and Kinston, North Carolina, following warnings last Friday that the supplier to Airbus and Boeing would eliminate 1,450 production and non-production jobs at its plant and headquarters in Wichita. Spirit said the cuts would be smaller in North Carolina and Oklahoma and will happen later this month.
