WICHITA, Kansas -- Spirit Aerosystems in South Wichita has suspended operations indefinitely as a result of damage sustained from Saturday's tornado outbreak. Employees have been told not to report to work until further notice.
"We had substantial damage," said Debbie Gann, Vice President of Corporate Communications for Spirit. "Roofs and siding have been torn off, and we have no power."
A search last night revealed no employees trapped inside buildings on the Spirit campus. Gann says the company is in the process of double checking today.
"Our first priority is to our employees, and we executed our emergency evacuation plan like clockwork," Gann added.
Structural engineers will begin going building to building today to survey the damage.
"It looks like most of our operational capability is in tact," Gann said. "We're working to get our facility up and running as soon as possible. That's our goal."
