“Spirit is committed to the growth of our Belfast site. Over the last year, Spirit Belfast has grown by over 500 people.
“We are also benefiting from the recovery in the airline industry with passenger levels back at pre-Covid levels and production rates up over 20% in 2022 and we expect to do the same in 2023.”
