Texas Attorney General Probes Boeing 737 Parts Supplier

Mar 29, 2024 1 min read

Jump to Summary

The Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, has launched an investigation into Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc., a key supplier of parts for Boeing 737 aircraft. Paxton's investigation centers on allegations that manufacturing defects in fuselages produced by Spirit AeroSystems have contributed to significant mishaps with the aircraft. The scope of the inquiry will not only include the company's management and operational conduct but will also extend to its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.

The attorney general's office has announced it will be requesting documents pertinent to these aspects of the company's operations. This action follows findings by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in March, which indicated that both Spirit AeroSystems and Boeing had repeatedly failed to adhere to established quality control standards. The investigation by Paxton's office appears to be a response to these concerns, aiming to ensure that manufacturing processes do not compromise safety and quality.
