Skyline Global Outsourcing Update

Spirit AeroSystems said Wednesday that it is outsourcing some of its IT work to IBM, a move that will result in the elimination of jobs for 37 Spirit employees and 15 contractors. Debbie Gann, Spirit spokeswoman, said the company would work with the employees to find them other jobs with Spirit, with IBM or in the community. She said the move came as part of an evaluation of "what we're good at, what other people are better at.

Though Spirit is based in Wichita, it has to be able to support its operations worldwide, she said. Spirit has seven facilities in five countries. In addition to the United States, Spirit has operations in the United Kingdom, China, Russia and Malaysia. The employees affected are among 455 Spirit employees and 22 contractors in IT. Gann said. Most were on Spirit's help desk.
