Spirit AeroSystems to realign Boeing 787 Dreamliner wing component production

To meet unprecedented demand for its products and services, Spirit AeroSystems announced plans to transition production of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner fixed leading edge composite wing component from Spirit’s Tulsa, Okla., facility to Spirit’s Malaysia facility. The realignment will allow Spirit to make more efficient use of its global manufacturing operations. Oklahoma employees working on the 787 fixed leading edge will be transitioned to other programs to help meet increasing rates. Increased production is planned for all Spirit facilities.
