09:16 AM EDT, 06/26/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The UK's Competition and Markets Authority said Thursday it is investigating Boeing's ( BA ) anticipated acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems ( SPR ) .

"The CMA is considering whether it is or may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services," the regulator said.

Boeing ( BA ) and Spirit AeroSystems ( SPR ) did not immediately reply to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
