Boeing announced plans to acquire key supplier Spirit AeroSystems for $4.7 billion in an all-stock transaction. The acquisition aims to improve plane quality and safety, as Boeing believes that reintegrating Spirit will align their commercial production systems and workforce towards shared priorities centered on safety and quality6.
