In January, a door plug flew off a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane during a flight, leaving a hole in the fuselage, some of which are produced by Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.
The Spirit AeroSystems logo is pictured on an unpainted 737 fuselage as Boeing's 737 factory teams hold the first day of a"Quality Stand Down" for the 737 program at Boeing's factory in Renton, Washington on January 25, 2024.
Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. makes fuselages, or the bodies of planes, for some models of the Boeing 737 aircrafts. Defects during the company's manufacturing process led to some of the high-profile mishaps that have occurred involving the planes in recent weeks, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton alleges.
Paxton's office will be requesting documents related to"the company's organization, conduct, and management," as well as its diversity, equity and inclusion practices to examine"whether those commitments are unlawful or are compromising the company's manufacturing processes," it said. ("The potential risks associated with certain airplane models are deeply concerning and potentially life-threatening to Texans," Paxton said.
