A contract partnership at Spirit AeroSystems to help increase the production of ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic has ended early, leaving the future of around 1,000 aviation jobs at the company uncertain. Spirit had partnered with Vyaire Medical to help increase ventilator production, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services canceled its contract for the machines early, Spirit confirmed. Spirit and Vyaire have now shifted focus from supplying the national stockpile to international markets served by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
