Boeing is set to take over Spirit AeroSystems' facility in Belfast, Northern Ireland, according to a Spirit spokesperson on July 1, 2025. This development follows unsuccessful attempts to find a third-party buyer for the site.
The Belfast facility was initially part of the assets that Airbus was expected to acquire or for which Spirit was to find a suitable buyer, as outlined in the broader strategic realignment. The inability to find a buyer means Boeing will absorb this operation.
This adjustment to the divestiture plan highlights the complexities involved in the multi-party transactions and the challenges in carving up Spirit's global operations. It confirms Boeing's direct involvement with the Belfast site post-acquisition.
