UPDATE: Spirit AeroSystems Announces Layoffs

Spirit AeroSystems announced that it is laying off approximately 2,800 employees at its Wichita, Kansas facility. They plan smaller workforce reductions later this month at Tulsa and McAlester plants, a news release said.

Spirit officials said the layoffs are because of the 737 MAX production suspension and ongoing uncertainty of when production will resume.

Officials said Spirit is a significant supplier of the 737 MAX program, and the MAX represents more than 50 percent of Spirit's annual revenue.

The company said layoffs will start on January 22nd.
