Britain's competition regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), announced on June 30, 2025, that it has begun a Phase 1 investigation into Boeing's deal to acquire Spirit AeroSystems. The CMA set a deadline of August 28 for its initial decision.
The regulator is assessing whether the $4.7 billion acquisition could affect competition within the UK or in other markets. This probe introduces a potential hurdle and could delay the completion of the merger, which is a critical component of Spirit's strategic future.
This regulatory scrutiny highlights the importance of the transaction's competitive implications and adds a layer of uncertainty to the timeline for Spirit's reintegration with Boeing.
