Spirit Aerosystems, a Boeing supplier, filed a May 1 lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton after he opened a safety probe into the company in late March.
Spirit Aerosystems is alleging that Mr. Paxton’s demand for internal documents and other information is unlawful and is raising other legal concerns in its Austin, Texas, federal court lawsuit. The state attorney general opened the investigation into the Boeing parts supplier after “reoccurring issues with certain airplane parts provided to Boeing,” which came two months after an Alaskan Airlines 737 MAX experienced a midair blowout of a door panel, forcing it to make an emergency landing.
