Alphavalue/DIVACONS | The aerospace and defence company closed a deal to acquire certain assets of Spirit AeroSystems, completing a key part of the struggling supplier’s split with Boeing. The transaction is expected to close in 3Q25, pending regulatory approvals.
Airbus will provide Spirit with a $200 million interest-free credit facility to ensure the continuity of its programmes, while it will receive a $439 million payment from Spirit as compensation. The transaction resolves Spirit’s previous disjunctions affecting A350 and A220 production ramp-up, and could positively boost Airbus shares by strengthening operational control and reducing future risks.
