Texas AG Probes Boeing Supplier's Diversity Program

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into Spirit AeroSystems, a Boeing supplier, to examine recurring issues with airplane parts provided to Boeing and to probe the company's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy. The investigation follows concerns about manufacturing defects and an incident involving missing bolts on a Boeing 737-9 MAX. The Attorney General's request for documents also includes an examination of Spirit AeroSystems' diversity program and the termination of a whistleblower who raised concerns about declining quality standards at the company's Wichita plant.
