Britain's competition regulator announced on August 8, 2025, that it has cleared Boeing's planned acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) decided not to refer the deal to an in-depth investigation.

This clearance removes a significant regulatory hurdle for the $4.7 billion acquisition, which is expected to reunite Boeing with its former subsidiary. The decision is likely to reassure investors regarding the deal's progression.

A spokesperson for Spirit AeroSystems confirmed that the deal is now expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025. This approval is a crucial step towards the fundamental reshaping of Spirit's business structure.
