Aerospace supplier Spirit AeroSystems (SPR) manufactured and initially installed the fuselage part on a brand-new Boeing (BA) 737 Max 9 jet that suffered a blowout on Friday, but Boeing also has a key role in the usual completion process, Reuters’ Valerie Insinna, Tim Hepher and David Shepardson report, citing sources. Because of a complex, two-tier installation process, investigators are expected to examine whether any flaws occurred at Spirit’s giant fuselage plant in Wichita, Kansas, or at the Boeing factory outside Seattle, the sources said.
