Spirit AeroSystems, the former Boeing Commercial Airplanes operation based in Wichita, Kansas, is in negotiations with Airbus over a wide range of potential aerostructures work packages, and could see work coming its way from January 2006.
“We’ve been to see Airbus in Toulouse and we have begun talks on how we can potentially work in future,” says Spirit AeroSystems aerostructures vice-president and general manager Don Carlisle. He says reassurances over the credibility and impartiality of the former Boeing division are a major part of the sales campaign. Potential Airbus work ranges from the A350 and A380F to the A330 tanker and A340 modifications. Spirit specialises in aerostructures such as fuselage, wing and empennage sections.
