Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announcing on Thursday evening that he has opened an investigation into Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc, after Boeing's numerous airplane issues in the last couple months.
Spirit AeroSystems, who is one of the world's largest manufacturers of aerostructures for commercial airplanes, makes the fuselage for the Boeing 737's. Just recently, a panel was seen blown off a fuselage of a 737 in Oregon upon landing. That after a door plug also blew off an Alaska Airlines flight in January.
The Texas Business Organizations Code authorizes the Office of the Attorney General to investigate the company’s organization, conduct, and management by requesting to examine pertinent documents. Spirit AeroSystems is being instructed to produce a variety of documents relevant to manufacturing defects in their products.
Paxton said in a press release, "The potential risks associated with certain airplane models are deeply concerning and potentially life-threatening to Texans."
