Boeing has taken on Spirit AeroSystems's commercial programmes, aftermarket operations and 15,000 staff, while Airbus has added six global production facilities to its network.
Aircraft sections built in the US, France, Morocco, Northern Ireland and Scotland will shift to Airbus, once Boeing completes its acquisition of Spirit and a buyer is found for any surplus facilities.
Boeing will acquire Spirit AeroSystems, while Airbus aims to bring the business's production of A350 fuselage sections, the A220’s wings and A220 pylons in-house under its ownership.
A320 spoilers are produced by Spirit AeroSystems using resin transfer moulding to increase efficiency, with a lower cost compared to the traditional process - a significant first in the UK.
