Meanwhile, Boeing secured EU antitrust approval for its $4.7 billion acquisition of Spirit Aerosystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SPR). The clearance is conditional on Boeing divesting certain Spirit businesses to Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY), Reuters reports.

Boeing will also sell Spirit's Malaysian site to Composites Technology Research Malaysia as part of the remedy package.

These divestitures address competition concerns and pave the way for the deal to proceed in Europe.

In a separate development, Boeing announced that it has secured multiyear contracts worth about $2.7 billion to produce additional Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) seekers. Under the contracts, Boeing will supply over 3,000 seekers at rates reaching up to 750 units per year through 2030.

Boeing is collaborating with Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:LMT) and the U.S. Army to boost production and meet new targets for the PAC-3 interceptor. Expanding seeker output is essential to sustaining the Patriot system's ability to defend service members, civilians and critical infrastructure worldwide amid growing threats.
