NEW YORK (AP) — Boeing is in talks to buy Spirit AeroSystems, which builds fuselages for Boeing 737 Max jetliners including the one that suffered a door-panel blowout in January, according to a published report.
Spirit hired bankers to consider strategic options and held preliminary discussions about a sale back to Boeing, its former owner, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems declined to comment.
Spirit also is looking into selling operations in Ireland that make parts for Airbus, Boeing’s European rival, the Journal reported.
