Spirit AeroSystems Inc., a supplier for Boeing Co., said it
would pause work for the planemaker at Spirit's Wichita, Kan.,
facilities and in Tulsa and McAlester, Okla., from March 25 until
April 8.
The move comes after Boeing decided to suspend production at its
Washington state facilities. Spirit said Tuesday it would continue
supporting 787 work for Boeing's Charleston, S.C., facility as
needed.
Spirit said it would continue paying employees who are sent home
during the two-week period. The company said it would use the time
to sanitize its facilities.
Once production resumes, Spirit said it would align costs and
workforce to Boeing's new level of production, potentially
resulting in "additional workforce actions."
Spirit said it will continue to operate for its defense
customers, Airbus SE, maintenance, repair and overhaul, third-party
fabrication work and other non-Boeing work.
